2018 NFL Draft: Kansas City Chiefs undrafted free agent tracker
By Matt Conner
The Chiefs allegedly beat out 7 other teams for the rights to have Reaves visit their rookie minicamp, which instantly places him in the spotlight for this weekend’s event. Reaves will have a familiar face around the facilities in former ‘Nova pass rusher Tanoh Kpassagnon. At 6’0, 200 lbs, he’s got the requisite size to play in K.C.’s secondary, but some scouts wonder whether he’d profile better as a safety. He had 58 tackles, 2 interceptions and 1 forced fumble last season.
Handsome Tanielu, DL, Brigham Young
Rest assured that Andy Reid will at least be keeping tabs on this defensive line prospect since they share an alma mater. The highly-regarded recruit (he chose BYU over Oklahoma, Penn State, etc.) struggled with injuries during his two-year career after transferring from the JuCo ranks. Some players are better pros than college players, and the Chiefs are hoping for one such story here.
At 6’5, 327, Rose comes with the obvious frame to play at the next level, and the Idaho Vandal comes with four years of starting experience on the right side at tackle. He could be a candidate to kick inside, especially during minicamp as the Chiefs try to see whether he’s a versatile fit or not.
Luke Carrezola, LB, Connecticut
The three-year starter for the Huskies had 28.5 tackles for loss over the last three seasons, so he’s clearly got eyes for diagnosing a play and a nose for the ball. Last year, he only had 6 tackles for loss and 2 sacks (the lowest career total) and at 6’3, 255 lbs., he’s going to have to shift from defensive end where played in college. Does he have the requisite speed/athleticism for linebacker? Hard to tell.
