Some prospects I love, and where I love them.

DT Bryan Bresee, Clemson

Bresee makes sense for the Chiefs under exactly one circumstance: if the Chiefs foresee being unable to retain Chris Jones. I think this is unlikely, but it's very on brand for the Chiefs to use draft picks to prepare for future departures.

Bresee is a very active, one-gap shooting tackle who explodes out of his stance to menace backfields. He gives up some size to Jones (6'5", 300 lbs to Jones' 320) but he somehow has room on his frame to bulk up. He was the #1 recruit in the nation, and was largely thought to eventually end up as a Top 10 pick in 2023 -- until disaster struck and he tore his ACL.

ACL's are not the death sentence that they once were, and his tape in 2022 has been very strong, though not the elite wrecking ball stuff we saw before his injury. The Combine and medicals will go a long way to determining if he's still Top 10 material. If he's not, the Chiefs have as good a medical staff as anyone in the league and they're uncharacteristically patient with player development. He makes some sense as a trade-up candidate or staying put at our pick in the 1st.
