The Kansas City Chiefs held the final pick on Day 2 at the end of the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft and used it in a bit of a surprise choice on Clemson linebacker Dorian O’Daniel. Many draft analysts and fans alike expected the Chiefs to draft a cornerback with one of their three Day 2 choices. Instead, they took O’Daniel shortly after grabbing defensive linemen like Breeland Speaks and Derrick Nnadi.
After making the picks, however, Brett Veach’s enthusiasm and explanation for the selection made things quite clear about how O’Daniel plans to fit into the Chiefs plans on a number of levels.
