1. CB DeAndre Baker, Georgia (5'11" 188)
A shut-down corner in the mold of Denzel Ward of the Browns but without quite as much speed. With that comes the chance he's taken much earlier than where the Chiefs project to pick. It could be a position loaded at the top though, with Michael Jackson, Amani Oruwariye, Blessuan Austin, Blace Brown, and potential declares Greedy Williams, Trayvon Mullen, and Kendall Sheffield.

2. OLB Porter Gustin, USC (6'5" 260)
When he's been healthy, Gustin has been a wrecking ball for USC. He looked poised to break out as a Junior but then broke his toe and tore his biceps, essentially shutting him down most of the season. He looks again like a freak this year with 5 sacks in 4 games but I'm wagering teams will knock him down a notch with the injury history.

2. FS Juan Thornhill, Virginia (6'0" 212)
Thornhill has played CB and FS for Virginia and has done both extremely well. With his size and tackling ability to go along with ball skills and coverage ability, he'd probably be best playing safety in the NFL over corner but either is a possibility.

3. OC Erik McCoy, Texas A&M (6'4" 315)
It speaks volumes that the Chiefs are carrying 4 lineman that can play center aside from Morse (Reiter, Devey, & Erving plus Murray on the PS), so I do believe they'll be looking to replace him in 2019. McCoy is that mobile technician that Reid seems to love.

5. DE Ryan Bee, Marshall (6'7" 280)
Bee is a non-stop motor type of player for the Herd and has great production to back it up, plus experience playing in a 3-4. For Bee, he'll need to add weight and play strenght for the pros but he has a good tool set to mould.

6. ILB Ulysees Gilbert, Akron (6'1" 225)
Gilbert is a safety-turned-linebacker that is all over the field for Akron, similar to 2018 pick Dorian O'Daniel. Given the Chiefs' struggles in coverage underneath, they may want to add more competition on the inside.

7. WR DeAndre Thompkins, Penn State (5'11" 185)
The Chiefs are set to lose De'Anthony Thomas and Chris Conley in the offseason. While Byron Pringle probably has a spot locked up there, they'll need to continue to add competition. Thompkins is a reliable receiver with speed and a solid return specialist.
