Addressing Needs In the Draft: Kansas City Chiefs – Cornerbacks
By Kyle Hull
Quenton Meeks
Quenton Meeks is a senior out of Stanford University. He is well known for his interception capabilities while playing college ball. His 7 career interceptions in 3 1/2 seasons is an eye-popping stat to back up his tendencies of making plays on the football.
Meeks turned those 7 interceptions into an average of 20.6 yards per pick. What does this mean? Not only can he pick off the football, but his field vision is a thing of beauty.

Meeks would be a perfect fit in Kansas City due to strong ball-tracking skills in the secondary. The team needs another player who can makes plays on the football, similar to Peters.
Meeks is a steal in the draft with his dominant ball tracking, and tackling abilities. If Meeks ends up in Kansas City, he could end many problems in the secondary.
