Don't know a ton about him but based on what random Twitter Chiefs fans are saying:

-he improved a ton in his time there
-he had a really good 2021 season
-he got torched in the playoffs

Here is what PFF said about him.
"Ward played the 2021 season on a second-round restricted free agent tender and continued to show he can hold up as a man cover corner with good size at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds. If Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis and New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson were to be franchise-tagged or extended by their current clubs, Ward would have an argument as the best cornerback available due to his ability to play out wide in a man coverage scheme.

Ward also excels in an area that every defensive coordinator will love: tackling. He's one of the best pure tacklers at wide corner in the NFL, and his 5% missed tackle percentage is the lowest rate among the top 75 outside cornerbacks in total tackles since 2019."

I like this

Don't know him. Assuming he's decent, I'm cool with him, Moseley and Thomas as our top 3 corners. Solid group.

Before signing.....

WZ: What a disaster, we lose two players, can't trade Jimmy, and can't sign anyone.

After signing....

25yr old corner with great size who has gotten better & better each season and has turned into a really solid starting CB who is only getting better.

I like this move a lot.

Meh

That's what I'm wondering. Never noticed him but read he was a former UDFA.

Huh. I guess solid CB depth with some upside. Any decent FA is gonna be an overpay.

He's so young with all that experience. We have a history of investing in corners on the downside of their careers. Let's find a way to keep DJ.

According to numbers he's a top 10 corner. But top 15 I'd say which is great for us
