Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chiefs: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Zavion Thomas, 43 picks early at Round 5, Pick 36. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Stukes pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stukes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick 9 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 29th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
By-the-book stuff, D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
They paid sticker price for Mike Washington Jr. in slot 74, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A curious use of No. 109. Tight end, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Treydan Stukes did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A premium they did not need to pay, Beau Stephens a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They went early on DJ Campbell in the 169th pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Zavion Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Zavion Thomas in slot 176 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
No drama and no debate, Kaelon Black went about where he belonged in pick 210. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
