We addressed a few needs in the first three rounds, but couldn't resist adding some weapons to the Mahomes arsenal later in the draft. I wanted to add a defensive end, but we didn't have enough picks for that. All in all, we added a bit of strength to almost every position group.

My draft might have looked weak for a few years, but I would like to review it again four years later.
Zack Baun languished in New Orleans for several years, but now with the Eagles he's been all-world this season.
Igbinoghene languished in Miami after being drafted, but is now getting a lot of starts for the Commanders.
Bredeson took a couple of years with the Giants to get a starting job, but he's been a regular starter now for a couple of years, lately for the Buccaneers.
Eno Benjamin languished on the bench for a couple of years and then ruptured an achilles, but now he's one of the top Amway dealers in southeast New Jersey.
Antonio Gibson was a potential star for a couple of years, and now he's still in the league as.a role player.
So I didn't fail. I didn't!
I didn't outperform Brett Veach's draft (below), but then no one can expect to draft better than Brett Veach.
