The Chiefs kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Chiefs put a flag in the ground for Caden Curry, 47 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Ponds pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and quarterback.
The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick29
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and quarterback to take D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick74
Rnd3
Caden Curry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in No. 109 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
They jumped the gun on Bryce Lance, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Nothing to complain about; Beau Stephens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Proctor went about where he belonged in slot 169. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They took DJ Campbell at par in the 176th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210
Rnd6
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at pick 210 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
