Round 2: Boise State DE Curtis Weaver
Weaver was dominant during his career with the Broncos, accumulating 34 sacks and 47.5 tackles for loss. The big question he had coming into the pre-draft process was whether he was the athlete to match his strong production. The combine didn’t really help convince his doubters, with just average agility and explosiveness scores.
At Boise, Weaver displayed great first-step quickness in his pass rushes and showed the ability to out-leveraging offensive linemen. Hand usage is the one area that already looks pro-ready for Weaver. At 6-2 and 265 pounds, Weaver isn’t the lengthiest edge rusher, but he passes the height and weight thresholds for Kansas City. I expect that Steve Spagnuolo would like Weaver for his NASCAR packages.
