Round 2, Pick No. 55: Mississippi State CB Cameron Dantzler

The Chiefs need to come away with a few cornerbacks in the 2020 NFL draft. They need to find some good players at the position but they also just need bodies as they only have two players under contract beyond the 2019 season.

Dantzler is among the SEC leaders in passes defended this season, even with missing a handful of games due to injury. At 6-2 and 185 pounds, he has the ideal size and length for an outside corner in the NFL. He excels in physical man coverage, but he can also rely on his instincts to play some zone coverage looks. He’s also not afraid to stick his nose in and make a tackle when necessary, which is good given his weight.

I think Dantzler would be a solid outside corner to pair with Charvarius Ward. I’m not 100% sold on him being the answer to the Chiefs’ problems at the position but I won’t be disappointed if this is the route the front office decides to go.
