Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Chiefs did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The war room fell hard for De'Zhaun Stribling, and it showed at pick No. 210: 39 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Stukes pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Landing Styles that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 9 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A reach for D'Angelo Ponds in the 40th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Treydan Stukes at cornerback with tight end, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 109, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
No edge and no loss on Beau Stephens in Round 5, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at slot 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They reached a country mile for Pat Coogan at pick No. 176, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
They talked themselves into Zavion Thomas at No. 196, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A wild overpay on De'Zhaun Stribling in the 210th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
