The Kansas City Chiefs pick OLB Cameron Sheffield in the 5th round

The Chiefs picked OLB Cameron Sheffield out of Troy with the 142nd overall pick (5th round) of the NFL Draft.  Sheffield is a big guy at 6′2″, 256 pounds and he can run a 4.8 40 so he is likely a good enough athlete to convert into a OLB as he played DE in college.  Sheffield played in 13 games (all starts) at Troy last season and he had 66 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, 7 sacks and he broke up 6 passes.  He played in 47 games (37 starts) in his four years in college and he had 163 tackles, 28.5 tackles for a loss, 15 sacks, he broke up 13 passes and he had 1 interception.  Sheffield will need coached up by Romeo Crennel but he has the talent to help out down the road for the Chiefs.
