2015 NFL Draft: 5 Prospects Kansas City Chiefs Could Trade Up For

After receiving four compensatory selections, the Kansas City Chiefs now have 10 picks for the 2015 NFL Draft. This gives the team plenty to work with for a trade up in the first round. Here are five prospects who could be worth that for KC.

The Chiefs still don't have a definite answer at right tackle, and Scherff is arguably the best tackle prospect in the draft. KC selects at No. 18 in the first round. If Scherff drops to the teens, the price shouldn't be too steep for the Chiefs to move up a few spots.

Williams is a special talent who was dominant at USC as both an interior lineman, and defensive end. The Chiefs would have to pay big time to land him, but he could be well worth a couple first round picks. With Justin Houston's future still up in the air, KC may want to solidify the pass rush.

3. CB Trae Waynes

After an impressive NFL Combine in which he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.31 seconds, Waynes confirmed his status as best cornerback in the draft. KC could use some extra secondary help this season, and will definitely need it next season as Sean Smith's current contract will be up.

Cooper is another player that will come at a hefty price, but he's also got All-Pro potential. Alex Smith is going to need more than Jeremy Maclin to shoot with the gunslingers. If Andy Reid is serious about a more aggressive passing attack, something drastic will need to be done.

If Cooper is a better receiving prospect than White, it's not by much. White has top-notch hands, speed and strength. If he drops outside of the top 10, KC has to try to make a move. Even if he doesn't drop, paying big for a special athlete like White isn't a bad idea.
