I'm struggling to think of many, at least for the Chiefs. College injury histories usually end up disappointing in the pros.

Donnie Edwards had a neck injury that dropped him in the draft when he was playing at UC UCLA

I'd rather have Perkins from OU

Oh ok yea I think we have too many needs to be trading up anyways.

Phillips has had more than one concussion (right?) and each one makes the next one a little more likely. It's not just a recurring issue, it's a potentially compounding one.

Ojulari looks a little lighter to me.

Ronnie Perkins at 260 is interesting. At 247, I just don't think he's a fit.

[htismaqe]

I don't think Ojulari plays DE in this scheme. He's probably better off as a 3-4 OLB.

[kccrow]

I'm feeling like, with Ojulari and Perkins in the debate, we should also talk about Zaven Collins and Joseph Ossai.

Is Collins too much LB?

Is Ossai also too much of a fringe 3-4OLB type?

[staylor26]

I would say Collins is too much of a LB if we’re talking about edge rusher in the 1st, but he’d still be a great fit.

I don’t think we go LB, but if we didn’t have other needs, and Collins was sitting there at 31, it would be tempting.

[wachashi]

I don't see him being available at 31 but if he is and depending on how free agency and the board falls (goes without saying this early), Zaven Collins would be very tempting. I think he'd see snaps at SLB in year one and he could replace Hitchens in year two. Collins is 6' 4" 260, while Hitchens is much smaller at 6' 235. Collins looks quicker to me than Hitchens. He's a unicorn.

Could be similar to a Dont'a Hightower-type player. Capable of making plays out in space on running backs and tight ends and is a real weapon rushing the quarterback on stunts and blitzes.

This. We have too many needs to take an ILB with a first round pick.
