29. Kansas City Chiefs: Nasir Adderley, S/CB, Delaware

The Kansas City Chiefs were the team that people gravitated to this season. Their offense was the reason why as they led the league with more than 35 points per game and had the NFL MVP under center in second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Even with that explosive offense, the Chiefs couldn’t make it to the Super Bowl as they lost in overtime of the AFC Championship Game to the New England Patriots.

Kansas City never got the ball in that extra period, which led to outcries for a rule changer where each team would get the ball. However, changes aren’t necessary because a football team needs to be well-rounded, and the Chiefs weren’t. As good as they were on offense, they were that bad on defense as they were second to last in points surrendered.

Knowing they need to slow offenses down, the Chiefs use their first-round pick on a defensive back as they choose Nasir Adderley from Delaware. He may have played at a smaller school, but he did more than enough to prove he belongs in the NFL. The real question will be where he will line up at the next level as Adderley played both cornerback and safety. The Chiefs can use either which means he should find plenty of snaps early no matter what his final position ends up being.
