The 2019 All Draft Crush Team for the Kansas City Chiefs
Offensive Line: Garrett Bradbury – NC State
If I’m being honest, I didn’t get around to watching as many offensive line prospects this year as I usually do. There were just other positions that ended up being higher on my priority list. When I saw a few mock drafts giving the Chiefs Garrett Bradbury in the first round, my initial thought was, “That’s too early for offensive line. We’ve got Austin Reiter to hold down the center spot for now, so we should address other needs early.”
I still basically feel that way, but when I turned on Bradbury’s tape it was impossible not to like what I saw. The downside of Reiter is that he isn’t as athletic and can’t get out on the move the way Mitch Morse could. Bradbury doesn’t have that problem. He’s incredibly athletic and moves really well, while still being strong enough to hold up at the point of attack. While I still don’t love the idea of going offensive line in the first round, if they were going to draft anyone who could walk in and instantly upgrade the line on day one, it would be Garrett Bradbury.
Watch in the tweet below to see how good he is at picking guys up and is an absolute wizard and turning his man away from the ball carrier.
Runner Up: Ethan Greenidge – Villanova
I first heard of Ethan Greenidge when I read that he was visiting the Chiefs. So I checked out his game tape and was really impressed with what I saw for a late round prospect. He’s a big man with experience at both left and right tackle and who may eventually move inside in the NFL. That versatility makes him an intriguing late round option.
What I really liked about Greenidge though was how he had the size and power to move guys in the run game but enough mobility and athleticism to get to the second level and pick up linebackers and safeties. He’ll need a lot of coaching and time to develop but I think there are the raw tools here to be a high-level starter down the road and those are exactly the guys you like your team to target in the later rounds. Now lets move to the defensive side of the ball.
