2024 NFL Draft Big Board: Ranking the top 100 prospects for the Chiefs (Updated)
By Price Carter
As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, we've compiled our top prospects for the Kansas City Chiefs. You might notice this Big Board looks different than several others. We've purposely factored in the Chiefs' positions of need into our Big Board, which means you'll notice a lack of quarterbacks, interior offensive linemen, and linebackers in the rankings—all positions at which the Chiefs are comfortable. Likewise, we will emphasize a greater impact at positions of need, such as wide receiver, offensive tackle, and interior defensive line.
Currently, the Chiefs are slated to have seven picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
While our Big Board features numerical rankings, it's better to think about these players in tiers. without any serious or strong convictions about one player being a slot or two higher than another. Be sure to bookmark this page for changes as we expand the Big Board with more players, adjust rankings after key checkpoints (bowl season, pro days, the NFL Combine, NFL free agency, etc.), and update draft picks for trades.
1. Marvin Harrison Jr, WR, Ohio State
The best receiver prospect since Julio Jones? Harrison literally does everything well. He can win down the field, in the intermediate, off a bubble screen, or on a fade. Harrison is as complete a wide receiver as you can hope to find in the draft.
2. Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Nabers has another gear that most wideouts don't have, he's incredibly explosive and has been one of the most productive receivers in college football against high-level competition. He's looked great with contested catches and can win outside or inside. He's not the most complete route runner currently but his exploivness can overcome that.
3. Joe Alt, Norte Dame, OT
Son of former Chiefs Hall of Fame offensive lineman Jon Alt, Joe has taken a huge step in 2023 to solidify himself as one of the top tackles in this class. He's always been a great run blocker, but the consistency in pass protection has really grown. He's a plug-and-play tackle at the NFL level.
4. Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Rome wasn't built in a day but his draft stock has gone through the roof in a season. 6'3" 215 pounds, ball tracking skills paired with great hands and ability to free-lance when a play breaks down. His skillset would be ideal for a Patrick Mahomes-led offense.
5. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Bowers is one of the best pass catchers in this class. He's also dynamic enough to take jet sweep handoffs. When he enters the league, he will immediately be one of the best YAC tight ends in the game. His lack of size will limit him as a blocker but in the right setting he could be elite.
6. Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Fashanu turned 21 on December 9th and is still one of the most complete tackle prospect in the class. Strength, length, and power—he has it all. He's incredibly smooth at all levels. but has some concerns as far as development from year to year.
7. Byron Murphy II, IDL, Texas
At 6'1" 305lbs Murphy profiles as a pass rush first, gap shooting defensive tackle. In his first year as a starter for the Longhorns he generated 45 pressures. While he is slightly undersized the success of smaller interior defenders before him should make him a 1st round pick. His upside is as high as an defender in the class.
8. Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
Long and lean, Mitchell has the coverage skills and ball production to entice an NFL staff. He plays with a fiery edge that at times can make him susceptible to big plays. However, his elite 32.4 passer rating allowed will likely make him a day 1 pick. He had a terrific Senior Bowl and combine.
9. Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
The 6'6", 330-pound tackle is a tone-setter in the run game and has provided solid protection in pass pro. Similar to Darnell Wright last year, you can project him at left tackle or keep him at right and let him be at his best. He's a bit lunge-y to play the left side but his length translates well to the right.
10. Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Unfortunately, DeJean lost the end of his season to injury but he still posted a great season. An impact corner in coverage DeJean has elite athleticism (freaks list member) and has lived in the slot. He might end up at safety at the next level but similar questions were asked about Brian Branch who seemingly makes plays weekly. Impact special teams player.
11. Brian Thomas Jr, WR, LSU
Thomas' traits are through the roof: 6'4", 220 pounds with a reported 4.40 second time in the 40-yard dash, there's a lot to like. He's not a complete route runner and has struggled against top competition but he might be one of the best pure prospects at receiver in the class.
12. Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington
Fautanu has been the left tackle for one of college football's best passing offenses. His combine will be important for his draft stock as there are some questions if he can stick at tackle. Strong, athletic, and excels in pass protection. He's a smart blocker that has a high floor for any team needing offensive line help.
13. Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
Arnold posses the physical profile and ball production of a top corner in any draft. He is fluid and athletic in coverage and is cerebral in coverage. There's room for growth in run support and against larger physical receivers but starting for the the Crimson Tide as a freshman shows something.
14. Jared Verse, ED, Florida State
Last year Verse might have been a top 10 pick, but his stock has gone down some this year with a lack of productivity. A member of Bruce Feldman's "freaks" list there's still lots of upside to Verse. He's struggled translating pressures to sacks this season but the run defense is still solid. Elite athlete.
15. Dallas Turner, ED, Alabama
Turner is an explosive speed rusher who has all the traits of a classic edge rusher. He's doubled his sack production even after losing rushing mate Will Anderson Jr. There are still some questions about play weight for him but the skill set is ideal for an impact edge.
16. Jer'Zhan Newton, IDL, Illinois
Newton is the rare complete interior prospect. He shoots gaps quickly enough to blow up plays in the backfield but is strong enough to maintain the line of scrimmage against the run. He's a little small by interior standards but his play speaks for itself.
17. JC Latham, OT, Alabama
Another lengthy tackle prospect Latham is an experienced SEC blocker. He's smooth and fluid and excels with outside zone and pass protection. He tends to bend his waist at times rather than using his core strength but he's made up for it with pure length.
18. Laiatu Latu, ED, UCLA
After medically retiring, Latu transferred to UCLA and resumed playing, and since then he's put together some of the best tape of any edge rusher. He's not the physically gifted of the pass rushers but he's so refined, the productivity is undeniable. Medicals will be a major concern.
19. Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Wiggins is a high football character corner with the best raw coverage skills in the draft. He has elite recovery speed and a solid understanding of coverage as a former wideout. He's a little undersized for the position and lacks some play strength but there's lockdown corner potential.
20. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
When healthy Mims might have the 2nd best tape of any tackle in this class. He's just played very little as a starter. He's an elite-level athlete at the tackle position, he moves like a tight end in space. 6'7" 330 pounds he has all the tools of an elite tackle. He's only played right tackle but could easily move to the left side, there will be a development curve for him as a raw prospect.
21. Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
6'4" 200 pounds, strong hands, dynamic after the catch, and has posted 9 touchdowns for the Longhorns. He doesn't have breakaway speed but Mitchell has the skill set to live on the outside if needed in the NFL. He's the last WR that has the traits to be a true #1 in the class.
22. Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
6'7" 328lbs Guyton is a prototype of length and agility for an NFL caliber tackle. He's raw in aspects of his game after just one year starting but the traits are unteachable. Guyton will have some growing pains as a first year starter but his upside is immense.
23. Ladd McConkey, WR. Georgia
Physically, there's nothing overwhelming about McConkey but he's a complete route runner who separates regularly. Teams might overlook his lack of traits but his ability to find space and make the catch fits in any NFL offense. He's had some health issues as well that could create concern.
24. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Franklin posted over 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns this year for the Ducks. He has elite speed and ball skills and is a nightmare in the open field. He's got room to grow against zone and at the catch point but his speed is among the best in the class. Classic field stretcher.
25. Chop Robinson, ED, Penn State
A member of Bruce Feldman's "freaks list." Robinson is a twitchy explosive athlete who's posted some of the top pass-rush win rates in college football. He's been a bit of a concern against the run but there's a lot of potential to tap into with Robinson.
26. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Speed is the key tool for Worthy, but he's not just a deep threat though. His acceleration makes him an impact player after the catch too. At times he fights the ball to catch it and is slightly built for an outside receiver in the NFL. He will needs to be schemed to have free releases or YAC opportunities often.
27. Darius Robinson, ED, Missouri
A recent move to edge rusher has helped Robinson become a top prospect. His large 6'5" 286lbs frame has made him a power rusher from the edge that helped him accumulate 8.5 sacks in 2023. His frame, power and performance at the senior bowl make him a potential 1st round pick.
28. Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
Ideal length, over 1300 snaps along both sides of the offensive line Suamataia will be enticing for a team later in the first. He's played in a run heavy offense that relies on RPOs frequently so pass protection might be an issue at first but he has strength and agility to adapt.
29. Graham Barton, IOL, Duke
Barton is fairly high for our Chiefs' big board but that's because of his insanely high floor. There's a scenario where he could be viable at all 5 positions along the line. He'll be great on the interior and can kick out to tackle in a pinch. Most teams will want him at center.
30. TJ Tampa, CB, Iowa State
Tampa isn't super explosive and hasn't posted big interception numbers but he is incredibly sticky in coverage. He has an ideal corner frame and has great anticipation for reading routes and the quarterback's eyes.
31. Zach Frazier, IOL, West Virginia
Strong leverage based blocker that has 4 wrestling state championships to his name. Frazier broke his leg in November and is already sprinting again. He's an ideal build for a center with a low center of gravity and plenty of power.
32. Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
Long and lean McKinstry has the signature corner look. He's a willing participant in the run game and does a nice job controlling receivers on their release. After missing the combine due to injury his stock has fallen some but he's still a smart coverage player.
33. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. CB, Missouri
An ideal press man corner, Rakestraw is physical and sound with his footwork. He doesn't have the straight line speed that other corners have in the draft but he will be appealing because of physicality. Medicals could be an issue. Also struggled at the combine.
34. Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina
For a player who is 6'3", 220 pounds, and who has been clocked at 22 mph on GPS tracking this year, there's lots to love about Legette. He's a powerful runner with the ball in his hands and has been strong at the catch point. He's going to need time as a route runner but the floor is high for his skill set.
35. Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida
Pearsall might be one of the best route runners in the draft and he dominated at the Senior Bowl. His straight line speed and strong hands will make him exciting vertical option to any offense. Slightly built he can struggle against large physical corners.
36. Kris Jenkins, IDL, Michigan
Son of NFL All-Pro Kris Jenkins Sr. and member of Bruce Feldman's "Freaks list" Jenkins has potential. He's been a force in the run game that still has potential as a pass rusher. He's led college football in PFF's "run stops" in 2022. He struggles to combine moves as a pass rusher and is mostly a pocket pusher to this point.
37. Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
After tearing his ACL last year, Morgan has recovered nicely to keep his draft stock intact. tackle. Sub 33 inch arms might have him at guard at the next level though. He does have nice fluidity in his hips which might have a team try him at tackle.
38. Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon
Rapidly rising up draft boards, Powers-Johnson had an excellent senior bowl and was a unanimous All-American. Our top rated interior offensive-linemen, JPJ has played guard and center. Most teams will covet him as a center but he's one of the safer prospects in the draft.
39. Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
Coleman has burst on the scene this year for Florida State after transferring from Michigan State. His basketball background shows at the catch point and he's dynamic after the catch as well. Coleman is an ideal X receiver at the next level. Some questions about lack of separation might hold some teams back on him.
40. Braden Fiske, IDL, Florida State
Fiske transferred to Florida State this year for a step up in level of competition and he played well. An older prospect Fisk has limitations as a pass rusher but he's a double team machine. He was a top performer at the combine.
41. Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan
It's hard to imagine a player's stock rising more after winning a National Championship but Wilson's has. He dominated at the senior bowl showing speed and burst to get open at all levels of the field. Coaches will love his high football character and competitiveness at the catch point.
42. Chris Braswell, ED, Alabama
Braswell is different than some of the other edge prospects to come out Alabama. A power based rusher that doesn't rely on speed or bend to impact the passer. He plays with a high motor has been an effective edge setter as well.
43. Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
McMillan is often the forgotten piece of the dominant Washington offense because he was the dirty work guy. Lots of his production came at or around the line of scrimmage. He gets open consistently but isn't a huge YAC weapon. Nice frame and build at 6'1" has room for development.
44. Adisa Isaac, ED. Penn State
Another twitched up athlete from Penn State, Isaac has speed and get off which will excite NFL scouts. However, there are some concerns about him at the point of attack and gap integrity. He profiles as a classic day two edge rusher with upside.
45. Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan
Though undersized Sinristil is a fierce competitor out of the slot. He displays above average ball skills and excellent football IQ. A plus blitzer from the slot, he plays much larger than his limiting size. Could struggle in man heavy schemes.
46. Patrick Paul, OT, Houston
Starting at left tackle, Paul has the type of length 36 3/8-inch arms, and 85-inch-plus wingspan that will likely be the largest of the class. He's only allowed 3 sacks in his college career. It's hard to beat Paul once he has his hands on you. A lack luster senior bowl might have teams waiting till day 2 for him.
47. Ja'lynn Polk, WR, Washington
With a 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns Polk has been a part of the three-headed monster of the Washington passing attack. At 6'2" 200 pounds, he can line up on the outside or in the slot. Is he a product of an incredible cast of skill position players or an NFL-caliber starting receiver?
48. Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota
If you've watched a Minnesota game this year you've noticed Nubin. He just makes plays all over the fields. Great on the ball and in coverage Nubin has the potential to be the next immediate impact safety drafted. He's a heat seeking missel but leave's some room for improvement in coverage.
49. Calen Bullock, S, USC
Though slightly undersized Bullock has the range and ball skills to be a traditional free safety at the next level. He's been a ballhawk in coverage and has great instincts as well.
50. T'Vondre Sweat, IDL, Texas
A true nose tackle at 6'4" 360 pounds, humans this big aren't supposed to move like Sweat does. Don't let his size fool you though he's playing a real amount of snaps, not just rotational. Sweat might be one of the best nose prospects since Vita Vea. He's going to play a run down only player mostly but there is still some juice as a pass rusher.
51. Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
Corley is an elite playmaker with the ball in his hands he's been mostly a gadget player until 2023. He has the raw athleticism to make an instant impact for any offense as a receiver down the field he will take time to develop. He's very physically gifted but will need time to develop as a route runner.
52. Ruke Orhorhoro, IDL, Clemson
Profiling as a gap shooting run defender with pass rush upside Orhorhoro has traits that could make him a steal on day 2. With a 98% combine testing there's lots of potential to tap into. He's a bit raw but he has lots of upside.
53. Payton Wilson, LB, N.C. State
Wilson might be the best line backing prospect based on agility alone. He has eye popping agility and GPS tracking numbers. His testing will be impressive. He's not an impact run defender but is high motor. Might be some medical concerns.
54. Marshawn Kneeland, ED, Western Michigan
Kneeland has been a dominant force in the MAC. His 6'3" 280lbs frame make him a dominant power rusher that plays with a mean streak. He's not the most quick or bendy guy but coaches will love his motor.
55. Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas
After tearing his ACL mid-season Brooks will likely not be able to test at the combine or at a pro-day. His tape still makes him RB1 in this class he has speed and vision that has come to be the standard for Texas backs. He profiles as a 3 down back for an NFL team.
56. Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale
If he played this season (medicals), Amegadjie would be an easy day-two selection. Big, tall, strong, with 36-inch[ arms, Amegadjie has a prototypical tackle build and hasn't allowed a sack in two years at Yale. Lack of high level competition and medicals will both me big questions for him.
57. Christian Haynes, IOL, UConn
The All-American guard doesn't have a particular trait that jumps out at you but he does everything well. He has nice power skills inside and moves well outside. He's not the most athletic or the strongest but he's technically sound.
58. Trey Benson, RB, Florida State
Benson is an elusive runner who rarely goes down on first contact. He has straight line speed and is an improved pass protector and catcher. His usage and offensive line might have teams excited for what he can do in an NFL offense.
59. Brandon Dorolus, IDL, Oregon
Dorlus is one of several "tweeners" in this class, at 6'3" 283lbs he'd be a large edge and a smaller interior defender. He has a true pass rush profile especially from the inside with elite burst and a dynamic swim move. He could be a liability against the run inside. Landing spot will matter for his success.
60. Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
Lassiter has "Steve Spagnulo" written all over him. Versatile, he can line up outside or in the slot and is an impact blitzer as well with 5.5 sacks and tackles for loss. He's ideally a zone defender but could survive in man at the next level.
61. Dadrion Taylor- Demerson, Safety, Texas Tech
"Rabbit" as he his known by his teammates, Demerson is an aggressive but undersized safety prospect. His lack of size might limit him to playing deep safety but his agility and aggressiveness can help him move around the defense with proper coaching.
62. Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina
"Tez" Walker has been plagued with inconsistency on and off the field. At times he can look like the best player on the field and other times he's looked disinterested. After having transfer issues he missed part of his final season with Drake Maye. His speed, acceleration and competitiveness at the catch point could make him a day 1 pick.
63. Jonah Elliss, ED, Utah
Though slightly undersized as an edge defender, Eliss has been incredibly productive, logging 12 sacks and 16 tackles for loss. He's got decent bend and speed around the edge but he will either need to increase his speed or power to win regularly at the next level.
64. Tanor Bortolini, IOL, Wisconson
With exprience at all five positions along the offensive line. Bortolini's versatility will be a valuable asset for any line. His lateral agility flashed at the combine. He tends to play a little high waisted, bending at the waist rather than getting depth. With over 1,900 college snaps his versatility and agility he figures to be a year 1 starter.
65. Michael Hall Jr., IDL, Ohio State
Hall doesn't have eye popping numbers but he does have one of the best pass rush win rates from the interior defensive line spot. Slightly undersized he shoots gaps and gets up the field quickly. He has some boom or bust to his game.
66. Junior Colson, LB, Michigan
Voted defensive MVP of a dominant Michigan defense Colson has all the intangibles. He's a tackling machine that rarely misses upon first contact. His athletic testing will be valuable for his celling in coverage.
67. Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas Sate
Sinnott is a versatile pass catcher that can block and break tackles at a high rate. He's an average route runner at best but the athleticism is worth the gamble as a long term tight end project. His physicality will help him find the field quickly in year 1.
68. Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri
An instinctive cover corner Abrams-Draine has had some of the best ball production of any Division 1 corner. However, he is slightly built and might not fit into every scheme as he is better off the ball.
69. Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
Wright's game can be described as explosive and versatile. He's one of the few backs in this class that has experience in both gap and zone schemes. He has been an above average pass catcher and is the best pass protector in the class. He's not going to be workhorse between the tackles but has potential to be a difference maker for an offense.
70. Cooper Beebe, IOL, Kansas State
Beebee is our top-ranked pure guard, while others above him might have more versatility he's a plug-and-play started at guard. His heavy hands and power are felt most in the run game, he's an emerging pass blocker who will develop at the next level.
71. Mekhi Wingo, IDL, LSU
Though slightly undersized Wingo is a bowling ball on the interior. He uses power and leverage to shoot gaps and has a high motor. His high football character helped him get to wear the respected #18 for LSU. He's not a run stuffer but he can make plays there too.
72. Zak Zinter, IOL, Michigan
After missing the National Championship with an injury Zinter will be one of the top interior prospects in the draft. His long arms make him a solid pass blocker that could even kick out to tackle in a pinch. He's been a key part of one of the best offensive lines in college football.
73. Javon Baker, WR, UCF
A recent transfer from Alabama to UCF, Baker is a former 5-star recruit. With over 1100 yards this season and 7 TD Baker produced like a WR1. He is an advanced route runner with strong contested catch ability and catch radius. He's doesn't have the top gear or agility that others in the class do but he's a polished product that could be an solid 2nd or 3rd option in an offense.
74. Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
Cooper fits the profile of most day 2 linebackers. He has traits (straight line speed and length) and some flaws as well. He was a highly productive college players and defenses will love his leadership. He struggles to get off blocks, especially if he doesn't have a size advantage.
75. AJ Barner, TE, Michigan
Barner is a plus blocker and has a nice feel for space as a pass catcher. He's somewhat limited athletically but he's not been pushed as passing weapon in Michigan's run heavy scheme. Barner would be a great 2nd or 3rd tight end for an NFL roster.
76. Max Melton, CB, Rutgers
Competitive and twitchy, Melton has several traits the Chiefs covet. He's a willing tackler in the run game with a strong coverage skills. He's undersized and doesn't always find the ball well in the air but he has some elite traits.
77. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia
Washington impressed at the Shrine bowl practices with his agility and area quickness. He's a versatile route runner that finds space at all 3 levels. He's very slender and lack breakaway speed but his ability to get open at that size will draw comparisons to Tank Dell
78. Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon
Irving is explosive, his speed and agility help him eat up every yard available to him. He's slightly built but plays bigger than his size. An impact pass catcher, Iriving would be an excellent change of pace back.
79. Blake Corum, RB, Michigan
Corum is a prospect that might be best measured by his floor rather than ceiling. Corum is going to get whatever yards are available, he has strong vision and low center of gravity shiftiness. He's likely not a dynamic RB1 but he is going to be a productive NFL back if healthy.
80. Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami
A deep safety with elite ball production and range makes sense for any defense. Though he's not always the most willing tackler he's a defender quarterbacks have to respect. His 2022 film could have him as a fringe 1st rounder 2023 he took a step back in coverage.
81. Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame
Big and physical Cam Hart's athletic profile is most similar to current Chief Joshua Williams. He's a plus athlete with an impressive top gear. He's a willing tackler in the run game though inconsistent there at times. Ball production isn't a strength either.
82. Roger Rosengarten, OT , Washington
Rosengarten originally played left tackle for the Huskies but was moved to protect the blindside of QB Michael Penix. Rosnegarten has the size, length and agility to be aswing tackle in the in the NFL, he needs to add some weight and technique to win consistently however. He could move inside for a team as well but his peak role might be as a 6th offensive lineman who can come off the bench in several roles.
83. Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas
Sanders might not be the most complete tight end in the class but he is the explosive. Sanders possesses speed that can pull away from defensive backs and can be featured out of the slot. Sanders isn't a traditional blocking TE but in the right offense he could be a dynamic weapon.
84. Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon
If your team prefers big and long corners Jackson is your guy. at 6'4" he might almost be too big. The length and the strength is exciting he routinely wins at the line of scrimmage. He's another older prospect that and his limited long speed might be an issue against shift receivers. Tremendous run support as well.
85. Jermaine Burton, WR, Alabama
Talent wise Burton could be WR 5 in this class, he's a separator with good hands and is tough after the catch. However, a litany of character concerns surrond the conversation around him. He will be off several teams boards. He's a great talent that comes with sizable risk.
86. Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forrest
Carson has quality size combined with experience in zone and man coverage. He has a high motor in run support and rarely gives up on a play. Ball production is a weakness as he has not had any interceptions this season or last. He his a high level fit for the Chiefs scheme.
87. Javon Bullard, S, Georgia
Bullard fits the profile of several Georgia defensive backs. He's smart and technically sounds but lacks athleticism. He handled lots of different roles on the Georgia defense he might be best suited for the slot at the next level though. In the right hands he could be a valuable piece.
88. Johnny Wilson, WR, Florida State
Wilson is too big and athletic to be outside of the top 100. The Florida State offense lived off jump balls to Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson. His long arms make him a nightmare match up for corners and his speed make him hard for linebackers to cover. It's hard to see him as a full time player but there's a role for Wilson in the red zone or maybe even as a tight end.
89. Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame
Fisher is a nice option for a team looking for a right tackle or depth on day two. At times he can look like an above average starter and other games he really struggles, consistency is a area of improvement. He's an above average run blocker with some stiffness in pass protection. He's a limited athlete but has a high floor.
90. Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin
One of the youngest draft prospects ever, Allen is an interesting player. He has been in a system that relies on gap/power running but that doesn't really fit his running style. He's not a big tackle breaker but he also lacks homerun speed and pass catching experience. Good news is he is young and is built like a linebacker in the right hands he could be an RB1.
91. Maason Smith, DT, LSU
Smith is a prototype for the defensive tackle position, a former 5 star recruit he has unrealized potential. When he is on he can look like the best player on the fields and other times he get washed out of plays. Naturally, with a 6'5" frame pad height is a concern but he is very similar to Chris Jones' build and would be a great upside play for the Chiefs.
92. DeWayne Carter, IDL, Duke
Carter's best trait his his explosive first step at 6'2" 302lbs he's average sized for an interior defender. He's struggled to convert his power to sacks as he doesn't have much of a pass rush plan. However, the run defense is encouraging and he was more productive in 2022.
93. Will Shipley, RB, Clemson
Shipley has nice area quickness and lateral agility. He's an above average pass catcher at the college level. His smaller frame is going to limit his YAC ability at the next level. He doesn't have home run speed but he can generate explosive plays with his agility. Profiles as a passing down back
94. Brenden Rice, WR, USC
Son of NFL legend Rice does all the little things well about the receiver position. He understands spacing, runs refined routes and is elite at the catch point. Physically, he's not explosive enough profile as a top option in an offense he would however be a great 3rd or 4th option in a great offense.
95. Dillon Johnson, RB, Washington
Johnson is one of the bigger backs in the class and is the best pass protector of the class as well. He was highly productive on the ground and in the air at Washington. He's not overly explosive but he runs through tackles well and has great vision. He's not going to be a full time lead back but he is a high floor second option or passing down back.
96. Mason McCormick, IOL, South Dakota State
McCormick raised eyebrows at the combine with his testing. He's a very experienced blocker who actually made all of the protection calls for the Jackrabbits despite playing left guard instead of center. He will turn 24 in May which might limit his ceiling but the run blocking is exciting.
97. Trevin Wallace, LB, Kentucky
An athletic ball of clay, Wallace was 14th on Bruce Feldman's "Freaks List." Right now, Wallace is best when he can use his speed and agility to chase what is ahead of him. When asked to drop back in coverage or to read at the line of scrimmage he can struggle to make the right fit. He profiles as a plus special teams player and could fill a role similar to Willie Gay for the Chiefs.
98. Bralen Trice, ED, Washington
Trice is an edge rusher who has a high floor at the next level. His speed-to-power rush is enough to be effective and he sets a great edge. He still lacks a pass rush arsenal but he has a skill set that translates at the next level.
99. McKinnley Jackson, IDL, Texas A&M
Jackson is a brick house when it comes to gap integrity. He is an impact player in the run game who has shown flashes as a pass rusher with 3 sacks this season. Despite his 6'2" frame, he's agile enough to shoot gaps.
100. Leonard Taylor, IDL, Miami
There are times when you're watching Taylor that you'd think he's a top 10 pick and then there are times he looks like a day 3 project. Taylor is physically gifted enough to be an elite interior pass rusher but he seems to struggle with consistency. High ceiling and a low floor.
