Kansas City's Mock QB Snags Sellers, Skips The Value

The house mock has Kansas City using pick 28 on LaNorris Sellers, a passer whose model and room rank sit just four spots apart. That's an odd target for a roster whose stated needs are skill-position, defensive front, and specialist play. Jadan Baugh sits 23rd on the model but just 68th in the room, a gap more than ten times larger than Sellers', and he plays a need position. Ryan Wingo shows the same room skepticism, carrying just a 9% bust rate that skepticism doesn't reflect. If Kansas City wants value at need, it's on the ground, not under center.
