124. The Raiders are on their heels but the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t far from contending for a Super Bowl. It’s unfortunate that they lost ILB Derrick Johnson to an Achilles tear but he should be back for offseason workouts. It’s a 4-6 month injury so he’ll be good to go around April. <p>Then there’s Ramik Wilson, who came back and played well after getting cut earlier in the season. Those two will make a good pair of ILBs and improve a run defense that wasn’t so good in 2016. The Chiefs just need to make sure the re-sign free agents like Eric Berry.</p> <p>They could also use a CB on the other side of Marcus Peters to make them even harder to pass on. And Marlon Humphrey out of Alabama could give the Chiefs two shutdown CBs. Humphrey has an outstanding combination of size, speed and competitiveness.</p> <p>He’s at his best in press coverage, jamming receivers at the line of scrimmage like the Chiefs like to do. He also has the speed and fluidity to turn and run on vertical routes. The Chiefs would be better equipped to deal with the Patriots after making this pick. </p>. CB. Washington. Marlon Humphrey. 27. player
