Kansas City Chiefs: 7-Round 2019 mock draft after AFC Championship loss
Round 6, Pick 28: Daniel Wise, DT, Kansas
Daniel Wise is a guy who, after the Shrine Game practices and perhaps after the Senior Bowl, could be a riser. For now, though, he was available in this simulation at the end of the sixth round and could be an absolute steal. The Kansas product has really put it all together and shown he can be an interior force.
At 290 pounds, Wise has nice burst and knows how to use his body to create penetration up the middle both against the run and the pass. In practices for the Shrine Game, he was the standout that simply couldn’t be stopped by the offensive linemen in attendance. At this rate and with the need for defensive line depth, Wise could be a beast for the Chiefs.
Round 6, Pick 40: Ken Webster, CB, Ole Miss
Ken Webster likely would’ve been a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick at certain points based on what the cornerback showed throughout his time at Ole Miss. However, injuries have slowed him down quite a bit in his college career and have limited his availability. Even still, he’s flashed enough to show that he could potentially provide rotational depth to a Chiefs secondary that needs that at the corner spot.
Round 7, Pick 2: Dawson Knox, TE, Ole Miss
There’s no question that the Chiefs have a top-tier starting tight end in Travis Kelce. What they don’t have on their offensive roster is a backup or second player at the position that could either share the field with or relieve Kelce in certain situations. Dawson Knox may not be that right away, but he has all the tools to develop into that type of guy.
A former walk-on quarterback, Knox is a ball of clay still to be molded, especially as a blocker. However, he showed real flashes as a pass-catching threat and athlete at the position. If he can be molded behind a guy like Kelce with proper coaching as well, the Ole Miss product could be a weapon for the future.
