Eric Fisher and/or Mitchell Schwartz are going to need replacing sooner rather than later and Jones still being available at 32 should be a no-brainer for Brett Veach. Jones is not day one-ready so the Chiefs having the luxury of grabbing him without an immediate need is a win-win scenario.
Arnette out of Ohio State late in the second round is a steal. Arnette can start right away for the Chiefs opposite Bashaud Breeland with Rashad Fenton and Charvarius Ward playing in nickel packages. Arnette is an underrated prospect that should wind up being a stud at the next level.
Wilson is the 2020-version of Blake Cashman. A linebacker prospect from a smaller school who everyone feels will be successful in the NFL but still isn’t taken very early. Cashman went in the fifth round in 2019 but due to a less-than-stellar LB class, Wilson will go much earlier. Wilson fits in well with the Chiefs and will eventually step in as a starter in any LB spot.
The Chiefs have a knack for drafting centers in recent memory. Rodney Hudson was second-rounder in 2011 and Mitch Morse was a second-rounder in 2015. Harris could be the next in line as a 2020 fourth-rounder. The former Husky outplays his measurements and would be a permanent center allowing others to provide more depth at guard.
Carter can play safety and corner in the NFL. A role player who can step in when needed and can be moved around a bit. With Arnette in the second round, Carter can be relied upon solely for depth and backup responsibilities. There are never enough bodies in the secondary and Carter’s versatility outweighs his every-down limitations.
