I'm slotting this guy as our first round pick.
18 Chiefs
DT Malcom Brown, 6-2, 320, Texas
Chiefs general manager John Dorsey has shown a tendency to draft a year ahead of need. Positions that figure to be needs in 2016 are cornerback and yes, defensive end, thanks to the looming free agencies of Jaye Howard and Mike DeVito. The Chiefs just paid another defensive end, Allen Bailey, a ton of money, so they might be looking to lock in a potential impact player at a fairly cheap cost. A heck of an option is Brown, a talented three-technique interior lineman who excels at shooting gaps and being disruptive. He has the potential to be a three-down lineman, which is important in today’s pass-happy NFL.

▪ What the Chiefs look for: The Chiefs run a 3-4 defense, but with the way the league has become so pass heavy over the last few years, finding players who can rush the passer has never been more important. Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton uses the stout five-technique run stuffer that immediately springs to mind when one thinks of a 3-4 defensive end, but he also likes to use a three-technique tackle who shoots gaps and generates pressure.
▪ Chiefs’ needs: The Chiefs signed Allen Bailey to a four-year extension during the 2014 season, so he’ll be a starter along with Mike DeVito, who is recovering from an Achilles injury but took a pay cut to stay one more season. The Chiefs also have a talented young player in the mix in Jaye Howard, who was the starter last year after DeVito went down. Howard, however, will be a free agent after the season while another promising youngster, Mike Catapano, will look to re-establish himself after his 2014 season was wiped out because of a bizarre bout with a gastrointestinal virus and a concussion.
