By John McCarty
The Kansas City Chiefs need help on defense and obviously defensive tackle is a position they’re going to look at in the draft.

Any of these players would be a welcomed addition to the KC Chiefs defense. If the Chiefs opt to address the defensive tackle position earlier on, I like Dexter Lawrence, Gerald Willis, and Daniel Wise to potentially fill that role. Khalen Saunders is a nice choice too, but he is from a smaller school.
In the middle rounds, Byron Cowart would be an absolute steal at the position. Albert Huggins would make a nice late round option, as would Armon Watts. The Chiefs need to make sure they draft guys who could jump in and play as rookies, especially with their early selections.
Help on defense needs to arrive this offseason and the draft needs to be a huge part in making that happen. Brett Veach better do his homework come draft time and add the right players to this defense.
What do you think of this list, Chiefs Kingdom? What defensive tackles are you hoping the team adds in the draft this April?
