There are two 2016 NFL mock drafts out today and both of them pick the same player for the Kansas City Chiefs with the 25th pick:
Alabama LB Reggie Ragland.
ESPN's Todd McShay writes that Ragland fill up the stat sheet.
"Ragland is having a monster season -- 90 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, six pass breakups, two forced fumbles," McShay writes. "Just incredible. He has rare straight-line speed for his size (6-2, 252 pounds) and shows explosive power at the point of attack. While he's still not elite in coverage, Ragland's instincts are improving and he can hold up in an underneath zone."
Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus points out the Chiefs are always looking for a complement to DJ.
"Seemingly always on the lookout for a complement to LB Derrick Johnson in the middle of the defense, Kansas City adds Ragland, who graded well across the board last year (+10.7 against run, +8.2 in coverage, +9.3 as pass rusher)," PFF writes. "His experience in multiple roles in Alabama's 3-4 defense is a good fit for the Chiefs."
It's obviously way too early to figure this out but I do think the Chiefs like what they have at inside linebacker. Derrick Johnson is showing he's not as old as we think he is by putting up another Pro Bowl-caliber season. The Chiefs re-signed Josh Mauga to a multi-year deal last season and he has been playing better as of late. The Chiefs also really like Justin March, who was an undrafted free agent who ended up on IR. Additionally, the Chiefs drafted Ramik Wilson last year.
From my view, the Chiefs have some inside linebacker options that they like.
