The Kansas City Chiefs have added Michigan DE Mike Danna at pick No. 177 in the fifth of the 2020 NFL Draft
Below you will find the Chiefs Wire staff’s reactions, grades and initial thoughts for this pick.
Charles Goldman’s grade: A

Danna wasn’t invited to the 2020 NFL Scouting combine, but he’s known as a freak athlete to those in the Michigan program. He has ranged a vertical jump at anywhere from 41-45 inches while weighing 260 pounds. Some defensive backs can’t even jump that high.
Late in the draft, I’m all about betting on superior athletes. I also like the idea of adding a defensive lineman that went to the same school as Frank Clark. Those two should gel pretty quickly in the locker room.

I’m not too familiar with Danna, but I did expect the Chiefs to take some depth on the defensive line in this year’s draft. With Emmanuel Ogbah leaving, it makes sense to pick up another project for the Chiefs to coach up and possibly use as part of the DL rotation.
