That's always my point with 7th rounders - many of the guys you take there would've been guys you could've signed anyway. The value of the pick comes less in the player than it does the elimination of risk.
I think Watson and Johnson are UDFAs out of this draft. And Pacheco had already fallen so far (down to 250) that it's fair to think he would've been as well.
So I don't know that you can do a 1 for 1 proxy on the player and the pick value here; there's an excellent chance any/all of them would've still ended up on the squad.

I'm pretty sure the Chiefs are very happy that they didn't have to take the risk of them signing elsewhere.
Like I tried to tell both of you then, I get that thinking generally speaking, but when your GM can find talent anywhere, all picks absolutely have some value. It's not even debatable at this point.
