Included in measurables are height, weight, age this year (if available) and 40-yard-dash time. Grades and rankings are based on film study and proprietary reporting. Grades are intended to convey a general sense of the draftee’s value, and where he might be selected.
Chiefs’ need at the position: Medium. Eric Berry will be back, which will help stabilize the position following the release of four-year starter Ron Parker. But if Berry gets hurt, that leaves Daniel Sorensen, Eric Murray and veteran free-agent signing Robert Golden. The Chiefs could use another talented young player at this position but the feeling here is that cornerback, defensive line and edge rusher are slightly bigger needs on the defense.
