Second Round

59

Tanoh Kpassagnon

Defensive End, Villanova Wildcats

Kansas City can afford to go with a low-floor, high-ceiling pass rushing prospect like Villanova Wildcats defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon. He has the physique to be a superstar sack master at the next level. Then again, he only played at Villanova.

Regardless, Kpsassagnon has the raw material that Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton would pound his fist on the table for. Kpassagnon may only be able to go in one direction (forward), but could be a vital piece in the Kansas City pass rush for years if he takes to coaching.

Third Round

86

Kareem Hunt

Running Back, Toledo Rockets

Kansas City has come to grips that the Jamaal Charles era of Chiefs football is over. It’s time to move on and find a new favorite running back to cheer for. Maybe they found his long-term replacement in the form of Toledo Rockets tailback Kareem Hunt?

Hunt should be a fantasy football darling at the next level. He looks to be a solid pass catcher, as well as a shifty runner in the middle of the field. Hunt seems to have the tenacity to pick up pass rushers in protection. He looked good in the Senior Bowl and Hunt could be the best value pick of the draft for Kansas City.
