2017 NFL Mock Draft: Dalvin Cook makes his case
By Brad Weiss
The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled as a unit offensively this season, and it could wind up being their Achilles Heel come playoff time. However, on Sunday night, 2016 fifth-round draft pick Tyreek Hill showed he may be the next big playmaker for the Chiefs, as he carried the load with Jeremy Maclin on the shelf. Still, Kansas City needs more help on the offensive side of the ball, and Curtis Samuel from Ohio State could be the answer.
Samuel is fresh off the biggest run of his collegiate career, as his 15-yard overtime touchdown gave the Buckeyes a huge home win against the hated Michigan Wolverines. In scoring, Samuel saved the Buckeyes season, and they should be invited to the College Football Playoff at 11-1. He does everything on offense, and could be a wide receiver or running back at the next level.
Kansas City may wind up grabbing a quarterback in the later rounds, as Alex Smith is starting get a little boring behind center. However, there is no-one that can replace him right away in this draft, so they should try to put some more weapons around him. Samuel would look good in Kansas City, and Chiefs fans would fall in love with his ability to make big plays.
