Draft Grade — Chiefs
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chiefs, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Chiefs did not. Tony Grimes went at pick 194, a good 40 picks before the board was ready.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 9 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 74th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A reach for D'Angelo Ponds in the 97th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They took Bryce Lance at par in Round 4, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at pick 146, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick176 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
No drama and no debate, Gracen Halton went about where he belonged in pick No. 176. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at No. 194 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
