Kansas City Chiefs mock draft: What rookies could join Xavier Worthy in Rounds 2-7?
By Price Carter
Round 4, Pick 131: Mekhi Wingo, IDL, LSU
A local recruit from St. Louis, Mekhi Wingo was originally with Missouri until transferring to LSU.
At LSU, Wingo wore the prestigious number 18 and was a force along the defensive line. He has an explosive first step and is a rare athlete along the defensive interior. Though undersized, he does a nice job of slipping blocks in the run game. Right now, he's an athlete who has traits but needs to learn more about pass rushing with a plan.
Wingo is a solid bet to improve the interior of the defensive line. The Chiefs have been committed to improving that position all off-season by adding several bodies up front. Wingo brings something they currently don't have. He might not turn into the run stuffer that Derrick Nnadi or Mike Pennel are but he can help bring more pass rush to the table.
