Round Six: Eric Kush and Braden Wilson

Grade: D

Eric Kush was the second offensive linemen taken by the Chiefs in the 2013 draft. He was thought to be very athletic and had the potential to play anywhere on the interior of the offensive line.

In his two years with Kansas City he started one game and only appeared in three. Given how unstable the offensive line has been over the past few seasons, it was an indication of just how poor a player he actually was.

When the Chiefs drafted Mitch Morse this past season, he beat out Kush for the starting center job and was waived in September of 2015.

Braden Wilson wasn’t expected to do much coming out of college. Fullback is becoming a thing of the past as offenses become more pass happy and defenses see stricter rules placed upon them. The Chiefs still employ a fullback but Anthony Sherman was never in danger of losing his job. Wilson was cut out of training camp and has yet to sign or catch on with another team.

While neither of these picks have done very much in their careers, the Chiefs are left wondering ‘what could have been?’ with a few players taken in those rounds.

While the Chiefs weren’t in need of a running back, they missed out on Latavius Murray, Andre Ellington, and Spencer Ware. All of those players went in the sixth round and the Chiefs could certainly use the depth given how injury prone Charles is.
