With the 173rd pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Illinois State TE James O'Shaughnessy.
Here is the Chiefs tight end we were looking for. Anthony Fasano was cut this offseason which made this a position folks have been looking to. NFL.com describes him as a basketball tight end:
"Basketball" tight end with plus foot quickness, concentration, hands and vertical ability. He can elevate and compete for jump balls while creating space for himself with his quickness. His blocking is a work in progress, but he could end up being a highly productive Day 3 draft pick if a team utilizes his talent properly.
The Chiefs have another true basketball tight end in Demetrius Harris, who played basketball in college. They were also connected to a couple of other basketball tight ends. Obviously they see a connection.
This is the second of back-to-back fifth round picks for the Chiefs. It's also a compensatory pick which means they could not trade it.
