Kyle Dugger - S/LB, Lenoir-Rhyne
This guy is intriguing and could be another Swiss Army Knife type of player for Spags. If Sorenson gets cut, this is the type of player you can draft to fill that role, and he's much, MUCH, more athletic than Sorenson. Lots of draft pundits are saying he can play off-ball linebacker at the NFL level. He's 6' 1" 217lbs.
Right now, it looks like he'll be available at the end of the second round/beginning of the third. He's a "sleeper" pick because he played D-II ball. His tape is fun because he completely outclasses everyone else on the field athletically and he returned kicks. He's been called, "one of the best pure athletes in the 2020 NFL Draft." |

He looks like a very aggressive and sure tackler. Pretty nice moves on those returns too.

I just don’t know that we can afford to spend another high pick at safety with all of our other needs.

His role would be a lot different than Thornhill or Mathieu. Ben Niemann played 400 defensive snaps this year. Sorensen played 563 and could be cut this year to clear cap room. This guy might be able to play both of those roles, but unlike Niemann and Sorenson, he's an athletic freak.
I could see Spags falling in love with his versatility, but he is raw. |

I don’t think he’ll make it to 63, but he would be a solid pick there. |

I'd much rather take a flier on Myles Dorn from North Carolina in the 5th. Dad played in the league. Athletic as hell. A bit raw.

Most projections I’ve seen on Dugger have him ranked as a 4th/5th round prospect.
I’d be on board with him there, as opposed to a top 90 pick... |

They had this kid on SiriusXM NFL channel the other day. I was thinking how good of a fit he would be in KC as wet. I believe that he's an engineering major as well. Really smart. I'll be watching to see where he ends up going

Why does anyone think we'd cut Sorenson? His cap number next year is $4.7M, with $1M in dead money. Saving $3.7M is peanuts considering he's spent 6 years learning the chiefs system and is still an effective play maker. Creating another void at safety for that little in cap space doesn't make any sense at all.
He's a FA after next year. It's more realistic Veach lets his contract run out and he becomes a FA after the 2020 season. |

Sammy Watkins: $14 million in cap savings LDT: $5 million in cap savings Damien Wilson: $4.5 million in cap savings Daniel Sorenson: $3.75 million in cap savings If the Chiefs hit on a player like Dugger and believe he can step in right away and play Sorenson's role, it becomes more likely that he'll be cut. |

There are some really versatile safeties in this class 3-4 rounds deep...
