Oklahoma's speedy receiver among top CFB prospects to watch for the Chiefs in Week 4

While we all await the Kansas City Chiefs playing against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, there's another great slate of college football games in Week 4 being played on Friday and Saturday.

Here are some draft prospects who make sense for the Chiefs in some of the biggest primetime games of the week.

#24 Illinois @ #22 Nebraska - 7pm CT- Fox Sports

Nash Hutmacher, NT, Nebraska - Nash is a part of the 1-2 combo for the Cornhuskers that has led to their dominance as a pass rush. He and Ty Robinson are massive forces in the run game and the passing game. Playing in the 3-3-5 defense he lines head up on the center and shaded to the A gap. Nash is also a collegiate wrestler and was a dominant wrestler in high school which NFL scouts will love. He profiles as a day 3 run stuffer with athletic upside.

Tommi Hill, CB, Nebraska - Hill has recently started popping up in first-round mock drafts. His stock only continued to rise after having a huge pick-6 against Shedeur Sanders in primetime. Hill is a former receiver who has safety-like size and length. He has excellent ball skills and has been a factor on special teams in the return game. Hill is still relatively new to the position but is already a big factor for one of the top defenses in the country. He's an impact tackler in the run game too. An ideal Spagnuolo corner.

J.C. Davis, OT, Illinois - Davis is the Fighting Illini's left tackle, and he's started every game of his collegiate career at the position. He played defensive tackle in high school before making the switch to the other side of the ball at the JuCo level. Davis opened eyes with his pass protection skills at New Mexico and transferred to Illinois this year. It's unclear if he has the length to stick at tackle at the NFL level, but his movement skills are strong. He could have a similar path to 2024 draft pick Dominick Puni who is already raising eyebrows at guard in San Francisco

#11 USC @ #18 Michigan-2:30 PM CT- CBS

Kenneth Grant, IDL, Michigan - The Wolverines aren't the dominant force they were last year but they are still special on defense. They likely have three first-round picks on the defense. Grant is the other half of the dominant duo for the Wolverines. Grant is an incredible athlete at 340 lbs., and he moves all across the interior of the defensive line and has explosive hands. He's a force in the run game and makes an impact as a pocket pusher. The sack production isn't noteworthy, but he's the perfect complement to a player like Chris Jones and has huge upside athletically.

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan - Recently mocked to the Chiefs in our latest mock draft. Loveland will be the top tight end prospect in the 2025 class and can do it all. He is a well-developed route runner for the collegiate level and is a plus blocker as well. He is highly athletic and has been a consistent factor in Michigan's biggest games. Loveland will need to add weight to consistently play inline at the next level but his ability as a pass-catcher makes him a high-ceiling prospect. Loveland is questionable in this game due to an injury.

Kamari Ramsey, S, USC - Despite the Chiefs drafting Jaden Hicks and still having Chamari Conner and Bryan Cook for 2025, there is still a need at safety long-term, especially when you factor in Conner playing a majority of his snaps as a slot corner. Ramsey is a quick-trigger downhill defender with a strong ability to defend tight ends and shift slot receivers. Ramsey is not a deep centerfield safety but can help run in the box, in the flats, or in the intermediate. He could do some of the things the Chiefs used Mike Edwards for in 2023.

#6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma - 7:30 PM CT- ABC

Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma - A raw athletic coverage backer, Stutsman has had a nose for the football and generated 16 tackles for a loss in 2023. Stutsman has lined up at all three linebacker spots across the defense but excels in coverage. He's highly athletic and a great form tackler. There is certainly an element to his game where he's thinking instead of reading and reacting which can lead to him getting out of position. He will be a four-phase special teamer and a solid developmental backer with upside.

Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma - Another speedy receiver? Sounds like a future Chief. Burks is a dynamic big-play machine who wins down the field and after the catch. In classic Chiefs fashion, he is slightly built at 5-11, 185 lbs. but he can fly and be a plus ball tracker downfield. He has had a nose for the end zone as well (10 touchdowns in his last 15 games). Burks might not work in every offense but he's a natural fit for the Chiefs.

James Pearce, EDGE/LB, Tennessee - Pearce is a dynamic edge rusher but it's hard to see him being a full-time edge in the NFL. The size limitations are such that he will not be able to stay on the field against the run unless there's a significant change in body composition. But he can get to the quarterback and put tackles in a tough spot with his speed and strong hand usage. He could be used off the ball in the right scheme as well.
