Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chiefs let Cooper Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Chiefs chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 40 on D'Angelo Ponds with quarterback, running back and other spots still wide open. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Cooper Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 9th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. D'Angelo Ponds in Round 2, Pick 8 leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They barely believed it either: Omar Cooper Jr. still on the board at No. 74. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They paid sticker price for Jack Endries in the 109th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Louis Moore
A reach for Louis Moore in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick176 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at pick No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
