Eric Edholm's Commentary
Our late colleague Terez Paylor might have loved this pick. Bolton is a hammer in the run game who will set a tone with his hard-nosed style. He’s also a strong coverage player with great anticipation skills, even if his shorter frame might not make him a TE-eraser. Still, this feels like theft at this stage, landing a top-50 player and possible early starter here. Bolton makes the two-hour drive down Interstate 70, and the Chiefs get better.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Without the benefit of a first-round pick, the Chiefs have selected two players worthy of top-50 selections. The smart, athletic (and left-handed) Humphrey has a wrestling background and could play at guard if Austin Blythe remains at center. This is a great pull for GM Brett Veach and Co. We like this pick better than the Packers’ center selection.
