Chiefs traded up with the Vikings to select Michigan WR Jehu Chesson with the No. 139 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Chesson (6’2/204) made 25 starts for the Wolverines, collecting a 114-1,639-12 (14.4 YPR) career receiving line and returning a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown as a junior. He earned first-team All-Big Ten from the conference’s coaches in 2015, but slipped to honorable mention last year. Chesson did help himself in Indy, running 4.47 and showing explosion in the broad jump (11’). Turning 24 later this year, Chesson is old-ish for a rookie and was a body catcher on tape, also struggling to make much happen after the catch. Chesson profiles as a short-area possession receiver who may best fit in the slot.
