Maybe he could be a good DJ replacement for the future? +/or if KC does move on from Houston or Hali... this guy has the production and skills to be a good rush LB.
so the versatility could be very attractive in the 2nd/3rd rd.. maybe.

Kikaha has a great motor, very strong hands, good hand usage; he is among the best that I've seen this year at stacking the LOS and shedding his blocker, which is why he leads the FBS in sacks. What I don't really see from him is elite speed and athleticism for the position, though I think that he does have just enough of both. I see him as a lighter (he only weighs around 245) version of Tamba Hali. I'd be interested to see how long his arms measure out to be, that'll be a pretty significant factor for me personally; I tend to mark DL/3-4 OLB prospects down if their arms are less than 34" in length.
