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.

The Chiefs have picked safety Kendrick Lewis out of Mississippi with the 136th overall pick (5th round) of the NFL Draft.  Lewis is a so-so athlete at 5′11″, 195 pounds and he runs a 4.5 40.  Lewis is a converted WR who is still learning how to play safety.  Lewis can probably handle either safety spot but he’s probably more equipped to play strong safety because pass defense is not his strong suit right now.  Lewis played in 13 games (all starts) at Mississippi  last season and he finished up with 84 tackles, he has broke up 10 passes, has 2 interceptions and he has forced 3 fumbles.  Lewis played in 44 games (33 starts) in his four years at Mississippi and he finished up with 226 tackles, he broke up 18 passes, he had 6 interceptions, forced 4 fumbles and he recovered 1 fumble.  Lewis will likely help the Chiefs most on special teams as a rookie.

The Chiefs have picked TE Tony Moeaki out of Iowa with the 93rd overall pick of the NFL Draft (3rd round).  He is a nice target at 6′3″, 247 pounds and he has a good set of hands.  His pass catching is his lone asset though as he is not much of a blocker in the running game.  Moeaki played in 10 games (all starts) for the Hawkeyes last season and he caught 26 passes for 302 yards (11.6 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  He played in 48 games (15 starts) at Iowa in which he caught 72 passes for 838 yards (11.6 avg) with 11 TD grabs.  Moeaki is a injury prone player as he has never played every game in a season in college.  I think the Chiefs reached a bit for Moeaki but he fills a big need.

The Kansas City Chiefs have picked OG Jon Asamoah with the 68th pick overall (3rd round) of the NFL Draft.  Asamoah is a big guy at 6′4″, 300 pounds and he has the potential to add some weight to his frame.  He played in 12 games (all starts) at Illinois and he played in 42 games (37 starts) in his four years there.  Asamoah has no real weaknesses as he is a strong run and pass blocker.  He could also play center if the need arises for the Chiefs.  The Chiefs were lucky that Asamoah fell to them in the 3rd round and he could be a starting guard for them as early as this September.  This was another solid pick for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have selected CB Javier Arenas with the 50th overall pick (2nd round) of the NFL Draft.  Arenas is small at 5′9″, 192 pounds and he’s not the fastest player around running a 4.59 40.  But, he’s football fast and he really is solid in run support.  Arenas played in 13 games (all starts) for Alabama in which he finished with 71 tackles, he broke up 5 passes and he had 5 interceptions.  He played in 52 games (28 starts) in his four year career with the Crimson Tide he finished up with 154 tackles, he broke up 13 passes and he has six interceptions.  Arenas has seven career returns for TDs on special teams so he will help the Chiefs out in that facet of the game too.  Arenas is a good football player who will help the Chiefs’ secondary and special teams from day #1.
