Chiefs Add Strong Safety, Depth on Day 3

 

The Chiefs capped off a successful 2023 draft with adding depth at numerous positions, including a high level safety.

 

Safety Chamarri Conner from Virginia Tech was the 4th round selection for Kansas City. He has played safety as well as corner in his collegiate career, as well as been a star on special teams.

 

In the 5th round, the Chiefs grabbed BJ Thompson, edge rusher from Stephen F. Austin. Not as polished and ready for NFL snaps as Anudike-Uzomah, but a developmental piece that can offer star potential and flashes of brilliance.

 

The 6th round brought defensive tackle Keondre Coburn from Texas. Coburn is a massive body, weighing in at over 330 pounds. He was a 4 year starter with the Longhorns, and has the size and strength to be an immediate help in the run defense.

 

And with the final pick of the 2023 draft, Kansas City selected Nic Jones, a cornerback from Ball State. Jones is undersized, which caused his stock to fall slightly, but has displayed great speed and instincts in college. He will need to add weight to be an impact player, but his awareness and quickness will provide nice depth.
