2017 NFL Draft: Kansas City Chiefs Post-Free Agency 7-Round Mock Draft
By Andrew Jones
Round 4, Pick 132: Ryan Glasgow, DT – Michigan
Built like a nose tackle, but not quite big enough, Glasgow would fit well paired up with Bennie Logan on first and second down. He lacks a true pass rush, but could be solid as a run stuffer or eat a block here and there. What the Chiefs would really appreciate is his work ethic. Glasgow walked on at Michigan and would have been a three-year starter had he not injured his pectoral muscle his junior year. His toughness and tenacity should remind Chiefs fans of Mike DeVito who has a similar build.

Round 5, Pick 180: Jeremy Sprinkle, TE – Arkansas
The Chiefs don’t need a deep threat at tight end, but a red zone target and a solid blocker. Sprinkle provides both. Rather than a mirror for Travis Kelce the Chiefs would have a compliment. With the questions surrounding Demetrius Harris it is a smart bet that the Chiefs will pick up a tight end. The best place to do that may be in the fifth round.
Round 6, Pick 216: Avery Moss, EDGE – Youngstown St
If healthy, the Chiefs have some of the best pass rushers in the league. The problem lies at the age of Tamba Hali and the injury history of Justin Houston. If either can’t be a strong threat rushing the passer then the Chiefs will need to look to their depth. Moss is not a game breaker by any means, but he can learn. His raw athleticism and length gives him major upside going into the NFL.
Round 6, Pick 218: ArDarius Stewart, WR- Alabama
The Alabama prospect has flown under the radar as he played for the 87th ranked pass offense this past season. Even still, he was able to haul in 54 catches for 864 yards. That led the Crimson Tide in yardage, as well as doing so in receiving touchdowns. The Chiefs have speed on their roster, but the depth on the team lacks the hands to be relied upon consistently. Providing depth is key when the roster has few holes to begin with.

Round 7, Pick 245: Jay Guillermo, G – Clemson
Guillermo played center at Clemson, but the Chiefs are fond of moving guys around. He grades better in pass protection than run blocking because of his smaller frame. He fits with the Chiefs as he spent three years blocking in a pass first system and in front of a athletic quarterback, Deshaun Watson. His size is really the only concern. As a guard or as a center, Guillermo provides depth on the offensive line.
