NFL Draft 2019: Josh Allen help Chiefs replace Justin Houston

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has struggled tremendously this season. While outside linebacker (or EDGE for 3-4 base teams) may not seem like the biggest need in Kansas City there are a lot of complicated factors for the Chiefs primary pass rushers. Dee Ford is an impending free agent, Justin Houston is aging and has a very expensive contract, and former second-round draft picks Tanoh Kpassagnon and Breeland Speaks have not shown much yet.

Enter Josh Allen, outside linebacker for the Kentucky Wildcats. Allen has been an ever-improving force for the Wildcats defensive unit and looks to be a special player.
