Round 4 – Picks 136 and 144

(Pick Two)

A. Simi Fehoko – WR – Stanford

Simi Fehoko has very tempting measurables being 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds and running a 4.43 forty. His routes definitely need some work and physically he may never be a super sharp route runner, but his deep threat ability and size over the middle and in the red zone could make him too tempting a weapon for the Chiefs to pass up in the late fourth round.

B. Drake Jackson – C – Kentucky

Drake Jackson is undersized and could have some issues generating push in the run game at the NFL level as well as handling the bull rush of some stronger defensive tackles, but the rest of his game is great. He moves great for a lineman and is aggressive finding players on the second level. He also is strong in technique, positioning himself between the defender and the ball. Think of him as a more athletic and more aggressive Austin Reiter.

C. Bobby Brown III – DT – Texas A&M

With the signing of Jarran Reed I don’t see defensive tackle as a huge need, but I like the value of Bobby Brown here. Brown has great size at 6-foot-4 and 321 pounds but isn’t just a run stuffer. He is young and raw, but has the upside to be a dominant all-around defensive tackle who can be on the field in any situation. If the Chiefs think they can get him to reach his talent ceiling, he could be a steal in the late fourth round.

D. Elerson Smith – Edge – Northern Iowa

Elerson Smith is one of my favorite mid-round developmental pass rushing prospects. He has the length, motor, and pass rush ability to contribute as a rotational rusher from day one, but will need to seriously bulk up and work on his technique if he wants to stop the run well enough to stay on the field regularly.

E. Shakur Brown – CB – Michigan State

Shakur Brown doesn’t have the ideal size or timed speed to be a top prospect, and he’s also relatively inexperienced with only 12 career starts. What he does have is a nose for the football, recording 15 pass deflections and 6 interceptions in those 12 starts. He’s incredibly physical and plays with an edge. He’d be a relentless fore special teams player and could be a contributor as a nickel back early in his career.

F. Tyree Gillespie – S – Missouri

Tyree Gillespie has the physical tools to be a great starting safety in the NFL. The problem is he can take bad angles in both run support and coverage. If the Chiefs feel these are things they can coach out of him, he might be well worth a pick here. Worst case scenario, you get a talented depth piece at safety and a stand out special teams player.

Now on to the fifth round where the Chiefs again have a couple of late picks.
