5th round

The Chiefs have been kicking the tires on a number of running back prospects during the course of the pre-draft process, which likely means they’ll be in the mix for one on Day 3 of the draft.

Weber (5-foot-10, 211 pounds) tested surprisingly well at the Combine for a back of his size and could be one of several running back options the Chiefs consider in rounds 5-7.

Weber is a smart, instinctive runner who should excel in a backfield that rotates carries, which Kansas City could do a lot of in 2019.

6th round

Cashman was a big winner at the NFL Combine, running a remarkable 4.50 40-yard dash and 10-foot-4 broad jump, some of the best numbers posted of the entire linebackers group.

As a former walk-on, Cashman has turned himself into a legitimate NFL prospect during the last few years and should get reps as a valuable special teams player early on in his NFL career. New defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo can experiment with where best to play Cashman in his new 4-3 scheme.

Keke is an impressive athlete for his size (6-foot-3, 288 pounds) and will likely be one of several front seven defenders from the Aggies to hear their name called during the course of the draft.

As I mentioned before, edge defenders are critical to success in today’s NFL game and Keke would add even more depth at the position to pair with fellow in-state prospect Omenihu.

7th round

The loss of center Mitch Morse in free agency was one of the biggest under-the-radar departures in the entire offseason so far and could force Kansas City to address the position as early as the 2019 NFL Draft.

While they remain confident in Austin Reiter, if the Chiefs don’t invest in the position early, they could instead spring for a nice developmental prospect like Maryland’s Derwin Gray in the later rounds.
