We won’t cover all of the prospects listed here, but highlight some of the more noteworthy ones. The depth of running backs on both sides is impressive and could add to Kansas City’s rotation. I’m a big fan of Herbert, Mitchell, and Carter. While drafting running backs is unpopular, the Chiefs will need to find some depth and may find value in one of these names on day three.
The Chiefs have been looking for a complimentary tight end to pair with Travis Kelce since Demetrius Harris left. Hunter Long and Kenny Yeboah are both accomplished pass catchers and Long has excellent size for the position. Keep an eye on Tony Poljan who could fit in as a more inline option for the Chiefs.
Marvin Wilson and Levi Onwuzurike are both talented defensive tackles. While the Chiefs are in good shape along the interior, there may be scenarios where these big men are the best talents left on the board. Adding more depth along the defensive line is never a bad idea.
