You know the deal by now. Free safety is the Chiefs' most glaring need, and North Carolina's Tre Boston could be a perfect later-round selection. He's super quick, changes direction well and is often best when covering tight ends. To boot, the kid may own the best hands in the draft, grabbing 12 interceptions during his Tar Heel career. With Kendrick Lewis likely gone, Boston is a realistic possibility as Kansas City's fourth-round pick.
Tevin Reese looked like a Biletnikoff Award candidate prior to injuring his wrist during his senior year. In just seven games he logged 33 receptions for 824 yards and eight touchdowns as Baylor owned one of the most potent offenses in the nation. He's small, quick and fast; in other words, Andy Reid's ideal receiver. Reese will continue to uphold Baylor's recently-gained reputation as "Wide Receiver U;" it's just a matter of for whom.
Pierre Desir has already been pegged as this draft's dark horse by several analysts, and he'd fit seamlessly into the Chiefs' secondary. He's a solid cover corner and possesses the size and athleticism to hang with the NFL's larger targets. For DC Bob Sutton, he'd likely play mostly against three-receiver sets while giving Sean Smith some friendly competition for Kansas City's second cornerback spot.
With impending free agent Tyson Jackson's days in Kansas City possibly numbered, Alabama DE Ed Stinson would be an ideal fit for a Chiefs line that struggles against the run. They were 24th against it in 2013, allowing opposing backs to gain 4.5 YPC. Stinson has proven a more-than-capable run stopper and likely will be available when Kansas City's fifth-round pick rolls around.
I was already high on Dri Archer before his combine-best 4.26 40-yard dash, but I'm even higher on him after. Archer was a running back for Kent State but projects as a slot receiver at the NFL level. He excels at making plays after the catch, which meshes with QB Alex Smith's game perfectly. Think of him as McCluster 2.0, only faster and with more potential upside.
