DE Tyree Wilson, Texas Tech
Tyree Wilson is going to make some 3-4 team very happy, and honestly he would be a good fit in KC in the Karlaftis role if we didn't already have Karlaftis there. Having two clunky but powerful workers coming off the edge, I don't think, sets the defense up the way we need to be. But if Spags sees some wiggle in Wilson's game that I don't see, go for it.
Wilson's biggest strength is that this guy just gets off blocks. He is long, he is about 280 lbs, and he has long arms to manipulate tackles and ruin guards. He can rotate down to DT and make lives miserable. He's really what you'd have in Karlaftis if you dialed hustle down to a 10 from Karlaftis' 12, but if you dialed the power and slipperiness up to a 9. Wilson has a ceiling that he can reach, but while he's on his way, he's strong and slippery enough to rack up sacks his rookie year.
But he's arguably a Top 15 player in this draft, and the Chiefs are not going to give up picks to go get a juiced up Karlaftis while they have a Karlaftis. If he falls to our pick, who knows. He's not a great fit for what the team needs schematically, but he will get you sacks. And this team desperately needs more production from the DE position.
