Kansas City Chiefs mock draft: What rookies could join Xavier Worthy in Rounds 2-7?
By Price Carter
Round 4, Pick 133: Will Shipley, RB, Clemson
An impact player on special teams, Clemson running back Will Shipley makes sense for the Chiefs as a former 5-star recruit and a player who was voted team captain by his peers.
Explosive and shifty, Shipley is at his best outside the tackles or catching the ball. He is one of the quicker backs in the class and has above-average lateral agility. Contact balance is a concern as he often goes down on first contact, and he doesn't have top-end speed. He's also too slightly built to be an every-down back.
It will be surprising if the Chiefs do not select a running back in this draft. The Chiefs should target a passing down back who can bring more to their outside zone run game and pass-catching. Shipley fits the bill here and continues to raise the dynamism of the offense as a whole.
