The value there is that you can move one with your 5th to get up about 10 slots if you want. You can probably package the 6th, comp 6th, and a 7th and get in that 185-190 range. It creates options far more than the bottom of the 7th round does.
It also has a bit more value from a potential perspective.
S Donovan Wilson, ER James Houston, RB Khalil Herbert, and OG Trey Smith were all recent comp 6ths.

All 3 of those 6s combined miiiiiiight get you into the back of the 5th. Combine that 5 with our other 5 and you can get into the back of the 4th.
Suddenly we're sitting with 3 picks from 123-132 and hell, those 3 picks can probably get you into the back of the 3rd.
Veach would never do that because he doesn't like going that long without a selection, but the Chiefs
could theoretically turn some of that late round capital into a top 100 pick if they worked the phones hard enough.
So at that point you end up with 4 picks in the first 100 and then 3 wild card 'priority UDFA' style picks in the 7th.
There are definitely worse places to find yourself...
