2020 NFL Draft: Full grades for every 2nd-round pick

Grading every pick from the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, with instant analysis of each selection

63. Kansas City Chiefs (from SF)

Willie Gay, Jr. | LB | Mississippi State

One of the more underrated needs for the defending Super Bowl champs, the Chiefs found themselves one of the best athletes in this year’s linebacker class.

Off-field concerns are worth considering, but on the field, Gay has the skill set required of today’s NFL linebackers in a pass-happy league. He’s fast, physical and explosive.

This team is all about mismatches and speed. Gay fits the bill here, even if it’s a little earlier than I might have taken him off the board.

Grade: B-
