Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 74th pick: the Chiefs steal Ponds and grade out a B.

The board owed the Chiefs one, and it paid up: D'Angelo Ponds, the No. 48 name on the board, sitting there at pick 74 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Chiefs indulged a want in Ponds while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 9 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 29th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 8, with Chris Brazzell II worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A want over a need in No. 74: D'Angelo Ponds adds a cornerback while tight end, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick110 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
A real head-scratcher, Gracen Halton in slot 110 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
Nothing to complain about; J.C. Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
They barely believed it either: Kaytron Allen still on the board at the 169th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 176 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zavion Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
