The offensive line was awful last season. Adding Andrus Peat to the roster should help, but it couldn’t hurt to draft another offensive lineman just for some extra insurance. Daryl Williams out of Oklahoma is the type of guy that could end up being a late round steal for the Chiefs. He’s big (6’6″ and 325 pounds) and has a great work ethic that could really be used on the offensive line.

"Physical at the point of attack. Comes off snap with bad intentions and rolls hips under him to drive defender off the ball. Tough guy who leads by example on the field. Works to the whistle and enjoys the one-on-one run-game scraps. Competes as a pass blocker. Sees and reacts well to twists. Has power in his hands. – Strengths according to NFL.com"

I’m not quite sure how Williams dropped to the sixth round in this draft because he seems to be graded highly in all of the analyses I’m reading on him. Even if he’s available in one of the earlier rounds, he’d be a fantastic draft pick and could hopefully beef up Kansas City’s offensive line, which was awful in 2014.

Despite playing at Central Arkansas, Dezmin Lewis wanted to make sure everyone knew his name by the end of the Senior Bowl. He did just that, as Daniel Jeremiah said he was the “under-the-radar player that created the most buzz” at the Senior Bowl (Source of link: NFL.com).

"I’m going with Dezmin Lewis, the wide receiver out of Central Arkansas. I had a chance to talk to him before the Senior Bowl, and he told me, “They’re going to know who I am by the end of the week,” and I’ve got to give it to him — he was outstanding. He’s got good size at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, but also is very smooth for a big receiver and can be a good route runner. He had an outstanding week. – Jeremiah"

Lewis is 6’4″ and 212 pounds and would use that length to his advantage. Some of the downsides though are that he doesn’t quite have the hang of going over cornerbacks for the ball and that he doesn’t have the most consistent leaping ability yet. He also tends to run out-of-bounds rather than finishing runs after a catch. These are all fixable, of course (Weaknesses courtesy of NFL.com).
