Kansas City Chiefs: 2019 NFL Draft Board Version 2
By Shade Piper
Targets for the Chiefs in the Middle-Late Rounds of the Draft – Continued
Vosean Joseph, Linebacker (Florida)
Vosean Joseph is similar to Hanks in that he has excellent potential as a coverage linebacker, but could definitely use some polishing first. Joseph is slightly smaller than Hanks and has similar concerns, but he did lead the Gators in tackles last season, which is a good sign.
Joseph would be most valuable as a fifth round pick and given a couple of years to develop. Like Hanks, he could pay off in the future by developing into a good coverage linebacker on passing downs with upside of developing into a future three-down linebacker.
Bryce Love, Running Back (Stanford)
Bryce Love was once in the conversation to be a Heisman winner and a first round draft pick. His value has obviously fallen since he is now in the later rounds target range, but this could make him a prime candidate to be a draft steal.
Love had an injury riddled senior campaign that ended in an ACL injury, but as a sixth or seventh round selection he could be the steal of the draft if he is able to return to his pre-injury form. Bryce Love, Damien Williams, Darrel Williams, and Carlos Hyde would be a solid four and would allow Love a season or two to heal up and learn under Hyde.
If healthy next year, he could have the potential to make a difference right away though.
