Round Two – Bryce Hall, CB

You’re likely already a fan of defensive backs from the University of Virginia without even knowing it due to Juan Thornhill‘s excellent rookie season last year. Now it’s time to pair him with a former teammate who could bolster the secondary with further talent and depth at corner.

Hall is a physical corner who has the size at 6’1 who has earned multiple comparisons to James Bradberry, the same corner who just signed with the New York Giants for an average of $15 million per year. As much is said about his incredible character and leadership as his strong on-field production, which tells you a lot about Hall as a person.

Hall is a three-year starter for the Cavs but comes with a few questions. Given Virginia’s defensive schemes, Hall isn’t a universal fit for just every team which means a bit of projection on the part of each franchise is necessary. Hall’s season was also cut short due to an ankle that needed surgery. Consequently, he only played in 6 games last year.

In addition, Hall comes with legitimate concerns about his overall top speed and athleticism. However the Chiefs have a dynamic group of safeties and it’s here that Thornhill can help out his longtime friend. Hall, meanwhile, would provide a solid corner who could play some immediate snaps and grow into a much larger role over time. For a team with only two returning experienced corners from last year, the Chiefs would do well to grab Hall here.

Our Take: Given the steep drop at the position after this round, Hall is a relief to find here.
