Chiefs Hidden Gems already on the roster

Parker Ehinger

Dude surprised us and was rock solid as a rookie. I remember reading that we averaged half a yard more rushing with him than after he got injured.

He was only only able to train his non-injured leg most of last offseason and was clearly not ready. He has put a lot of time in the weight room and bulked up.

I think he can be a decent starter at LG.

We won't fill all upgrade needs through the draft. There will be a handful of spots where we just have to live with the guys we've got on the roster or hope/pray a late round/UDFA guy comes out of nowhere.

LG will be fine if we don't draft a guy. People hate on Witzmann because he's not great, but he'd make a pretty good backup G (at least better than Fulton has ever been for us) and if forced to start because Ehinger's injury really did him in, we'd likely get the equivalent production of last year. We can live with that and kick the can down the road for another year.

In the meantime, if Ehinger is actually healthy, he has the potential to be really good as a starter.
