Kansas City Chiefs: Wish list for 2019 NFL Draft
By John McCarty
Khalen Saunders, Defensive Tackle, Western Illinois
The smaller school defensive tackle prospect has become a bit of an internet sensation, being a defensive tackle and able to do a back flip. He has a good blend of power and burst and at Western Illinois lined up all over the defensive front.
At a minimum, Saunders provides necessary depth along the interior of the defensive line and provides an intriguing developmental prospect for the future alongside Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi.
Mecole Hardman, Wide Receiver, Georgia
What Mecole Hardman lacks in true receiving ability and size, he makes up for in just being really fast. Like, really fast. The rest of his game is a work in progress and the junior likely could have benefited from another year of school, especially with the departures of receiver Riley Ridley and tight end Isaac Nauta opening opportunities for him to make plays.
Regardless, the idea of Hardman running deep routes on one side of the field while Hill running up the field on the other side would be an interesting sight to see. If the Chiefs want to go more towards a speed-based receiver group, Hardman offers speed in spades.
