  1. Marcus Peters- As late as Peters fell in the first round many wondered if he could make an immediate contribution at such a difficult position. Defensive rookie of the year should quiet any of those up.

  2. Mitch Morse- Drafted as a replacement for Rodney Hudson, Morse stepped up in a big way and consistently showed the traits to be one of the top linemen from his class.

  3. Chris Conley and Steven Nelson- Conley took some time to get on the field in 2015 but showed flashes of the speed he had at Georgia. His hands aren’t as good as the Chiefs would like but that is something to be improved on for next season. Nelson wasn’t able to show his talents on the field a lot this season but he did make some plays on special teams.

  4. Ramik Wilson- Wilson’s most productive game occurred in Minnesota where he was able to step in for an injured Josh Mauga and recorded 7 tackles. He appears to be a good stand in for when the starters need a breather.

  5. D.J. Alexander and James O’Shaughnessy- Alexander has shown his abilities on special teams making plays for the Chiefs. His best came in Week 17 against Oakland where he blocked a punt for a safety. O’Shaughnessy was drafted mainly as a receiving threat in one of Reid’s favorite formations: the three tight end set. His best performance came against Denver where the coverage ran with Kelce and he ripped off two catches for 24 and 30 yards.

  6. Rakeem Nunez-Roches- He stepped in a few times this season along the defensive line but became inactive after the game in Oakland finishing his season with four tackles.

  7. Da’Ron Brown- A wide receiver that never made it off of the practice squad this season, Brown looks to make an impact for the receiver-needy Chiefs.

The Chiefs can look forward to many of these picks being productive for a very long time. It has been proven that teams that draft well win more than teams that constantly go after free agents. Shoring up a few positions this season through the draft will set up the Chiefs for long term success.
