Round 5, Pick 180: T.J. Logan, RB – North Carolina
The Chiefs need a speed demon to hit the edge on sweeps and screens. Logan likely won’t be the starter, but he could be the main sub for Spencer Ware. Ware is more of a between the tackles runner while Logan has the speed and explosion to get outside. Andy Reid could use them both on the field at the same time and give Alex Smith the choice of an inside or outside run.

Knile Davis left the Chiefs in free agency and his kick return duties are up for grabs. With Tyreek Hill being more of a feature in the Chiefs offense, Logan would be a great choice to replace Davis.
Round 6 Pick #216: Cole Luke, CB – Notre Dame
The Chiefs missed on KeiVarae Russell last season, but his counterpart at Notre Dame may fare better. Luke does not have top-end speed or quickness. He does have high level awareness and, even though some receivers are faster, he can stick with them.
One of the strongest things he brings to the table is his experience. Luke saw the field as a freshman and has been starting for the past two years. His stats aren’t out of this world but Luke’s work ethic could get him a solid backup role on the Chiefs. He can step in at nickel or corner to give the starters a break.
