NFL Mock Draft 2016: Week 14 edition
By Staff
23. Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City might have the most talented defense in the league, so it makes sense that general manager John Dorsey should be looking to upgrade the offensive side of the ball. The Chiefs have significant weapons both on the outside in Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce, and in the backfield between Jamaal Charles, Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware. However, the offensive line is getting better but still needs to be fortified. Kansas City has finally gotten some production out of left tackle and 2013 first-overall pick Eric Fisher, but the right tackle spot remains a sieve.
Ifedi would makes tons of sense for a team only a player or two away from being a very serious Super Bowl contender. The Chiefs have to protect Alex Smith, who is not old but is on the wrong side of 30. The interior of the line is solid with left guard Ben Grubbs, swing guard Jeff Allen and rookie center Mitch Morse, but the right edge needs to be fixed. Ifedi is a mountain of a man who can seal off that side, dealing with the likes of Von Miller for years to come. If the Chiefs can get a tackle the quality of Ifedi, it is a no-brainer.
