Draft Darlings: Siaki Ika could stop the run for the Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs will be in the market for a defensive tackle in the NFL Draft later this month, and Baylor defensive tackle Siaki Ika should be someone they are keeping an eye on.

Intangibles

Ika is a massive player, standing 6'3" and weighing 335 lbs. At this size, he would project to be a 0-technique (lined up head up over the center), much like he did at Baylor as a 1-technique (outside shoulder of the center).

While his athletic testing at the NFL Scouting Combine and his Baylor pro day may have been a cause for concern due to poor numbers, it is important to look at those tests compared to what he will be asked to do in the NFL.
