2020 7-round mock draft brings risk yet reward for Chiefs

Round 2 (63) – Thaddeus Moss, TE

The Chiefs have the 63rd pick in the second round of the draft, which leaves little options—yet interesting ones, nonetheless. Players such as J.K. Dobbins were available, but there’s one position group that the Chiefs could potentially be eyeing in order to develop this player’s skills.

In this mock draft, the Chiefs select LSU TE Thaddeus Moss. Moss has raw, untapped potential. Aside from the fact that he’s legendary wide receiver Randy Moss‘ son (who has expressed that he’d like Thad to go to the Chiefs), Moss has great hands and offers a sort of toughness that is rare to find these days. He’s a 225 pound-for-pound tight end that can excel in the run game on the edge, while still remaining a factor in the passing game.

He’ll need to refine his game, which will be aided likely by Kansas City’s great cast of coaches. Unlike tight end Travis Kelce, Moss is not nearly as great creating yards after the catch, but this skill could be developed over time after sitting behind Kelce as the TE2. Learning from one of the best tight ends in the league could allow nearly anyone to hone in on their skills.

Moss may not be as explosive as Kelce, but he makes up for it by being a true monster on the field in his blocking and consistent hands.
