The 2021 NFL draft is just 60 days away. Our friends over at Draft Wire recently released an updated 3-round mock draft projection. So who did the Chiefs pick up in the latest mock draft? You’ll be familiar with the first-round pick if you checked out our writeup of the last mock draft update from Draft Wire. After that, Luke Easterling went heavy on the defensive side of the ball.

Let’s take a look at the players he sent to the Chiefs:

Easterling’s first-round pick for the Chiefs remains unchanged from his earlier two-round projections. You can check out what I wrote about Davis when that draft was first published.

Obviously, this isn’t a defensive pick, it’s the lone offensive pick of the three selections made in this mock draft. I will add that I think this pick makes a bit more sense now given the news surrounding Mitchell Schwartz and his expected return to health for the 2021 season. Really, adding anywhere along the offensive line could help improve the play of this unit next year.

63. UCF CB Aaron Robinson

Robinson is probably one of the more underrated cornerbacks in this draft class. He’s not the longest or the best athlete, but he’s a competitor through and through. He weighed in at 5-11 and 190 pounds at the Senior Bowl and proved to be a do-it-all type of player. He can line up on the outside or in the slot, plus he’s a sound tackler and sticky in man coverage. His physicality was really tough for receivers to handle at the college level and I think the same will be true at the NFL level.

In the aforementioned two-round mock draft, the Chiefs took FSU CB Asante Samuel Jr., so I’m sensing a bit of a pattern here. From the outside looking in, it would seem like the Chiefs have a big need at the corner spot with Bashaud Breeland and possibly Charvarius Ward set to hit free agency. The truth is the Chiefs have some good corners waiting in the wings in L’Jarius Sneed and Rashad Fenton. Drafting a player this high might not be something the Chiefs would do given other needs. It’s also possible that they invest in the position in the draft and spend other resources elsewhere.

94. Michigan LB Cameron McGrone

There’s a lot to like about McGrone. His play recognition and quickness jump off the tape. He had a breakout season in 2019, with  66 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, a pass defended and a forced fumble. He followed that season up with 26 total tackles, two tackles for loss, and a half-sack. It’s not a bad performance, but it’s also not the follow-up he needed to his breakout sophomore season.

The one thing that concerns me with McGrone is his size. He’s listed right around 6-1 and 225 pounds. That’s a very similar size to Dorian O’Daniel, who has struggled to see the field in Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme. The size concerns are reminiscent of what was said about former Michigan LB Devin Bush and he turned out alright. Still, I worry that McGrone won’t meet those types of size requirements that the coaching staff in Kansas City seemingly has.

Knowing that Jamin Davis is still on the board here and played for Matt House at Kentucky, I’d say that would be the pick over McGrone if they chose to go linebacker in Round 3.
