No picks traded for other players.
1.25 - KC makes a splash on draft night by trading up to take Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma. The flirtation with Tunsil even after signing Taylor makes me believe they're not done, and after watching main AFC competitor Cincinnati sit on its hands during FA re: OT, the Chiefs slide up juuuuuuuuust in front of them to take Harrison.
Draft room footage from Cincinnati features the same look of defeat and depression seen in the Buffalo war room in 2022 (McDuffie) and Houston in 2017 (Mahomes).
2.58 - Watching him slide, the Chiefs stop it and grab Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame.
3.95 - The Chiefs make another surprise/shocking move, taking FAMU WR Xavier Smith with their third-rounder.
4.122 - With DE, OT, and WR addressed, we move into BPA mode. And at this slot, that's Zaach Pickens, DT, South Carolina. He's long and strong and here to get his versility on.
6.197 - Darrell Luter, Jr. CB, South Alabama. Small school, check. Good athletic profile, check. Latest Chiefs value pick at DB?
6.217 - Jerrod Clark, DT, Coastal Carolina. Developmental guy I keep circling back to.
7.181 - Evan Hull, RB, Northwestern. Versatile, hard-running Big 10 back. Catches the ball well, 3rd-down back option.
7.249 - Asim Richards, IOL, North Carolina
I know Smith is Rnd 3 is splashy and surprising, but netting Harrison + one DE from that 35-60 range is a big win to me. Harrison gets an opportunity to win the LT job and takes it year 1. Foskey is a strong rotational piece.
Chiefs and Blart Smeech, Mall Cop continue to out-do the rest of the league, while laughing.
