The Kansas City Chiefs got off to a good start in the 2020 NFL Draft, selecting RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the first round. It was a move that has drawn near-universal praise from everyone apart from the “running backs don’t matter” crowd.
As we prepare for Day 2 of the NFL Draft, the Chiefs will potentially be making two selections, one in each round. The race is on for Brett Veach to find even more talented players for the Super Bowl champions. Here is a look at nine players, in no particular order, who Kansas City could be targeting on Day 2:
Virginia CB Bryce Hall
Ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft, Hall was getting hype as a potential top-10 draft pick. He’d led the nation in passes defended with 21 and had two interceptions on the season. Ultimately, Hall decided to go back to school for the 2019 season and he suffered a gruesome ankle injury in early October. What looked to be a promising senior campaign was ended prematurely.
The luxury of taking a player like Hall is that the Chiefs won’t be pressured to start him right away. Hall, of course, was teammates with Chiefs DB Juan Thornhill, who was selected at No. 63 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. It’d be poetic if the two teammates rejoined each other taken with the same pick in the draft in consecutive years.
