  1. Kansas City Chiefs

Darron Lee – LB – Ohio State

The Chiefs have a choice who to keep and who to let go with linebacker Derrick Johnson and safety Eric Berry. That choice will lead into who Kansas City will take with their late round pick.

Berry is six years younger than Johnson so keeping the safety should take priority and if that’s the case, Andy Reid will need a new linebacker.

Lee has received praise for his pass coverage while racking up 11 sacks in two seasons.

The Chiefs have a strong defense, and if they take Lee it will only get better.

If Kansas City loses Berry, they’ll need to draft a safety as they have only two under contract. Jeremy Cash would likely be the selection here if that’s the case.

Next: Denver Broncos
