Grading the Chiefs’ pick of edge rusher B.J. Thompson

With the 166th overall pick in the fourth round, the Chiefs Stephen F. Austin EDGE BJ Thompson. We have insta-grades from three members of the Arrowhead Pride Draft Team.

Ron: I’m a fan of the Chiefs going out of the box to further address the edge-rushing position, taking a speed-rush threat that can put a lot of fear into offensive tackles getting into their pass sets.

He is going to struggle to add weight with his slender frame, even though he needs to improve his play strength. He may not be able to contribute to the Week 1 active roster because of that, but he has a calling card that the rest of the edge-rushing unit doesn’t.
