Dorian O'Daniel NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Kansas City Chiefs' Pick

POSITIVES

—Versatile athlete that will play on all special teams.

—Above-average lateral agility that helps weave through traffic in the box.

—Mental processing as a zone defender is impressive; shows awareness to match concepts.

—Drops chest and rolls hips through contact to be an efficient tackler.

NEGATIVES

—Undersized frame but doesn't run fast enough to back it up.

—Limited experience makes projection a question about whether 2017 was a flash in the pan.

—Short-area speed is limited and causes him to lead with chest because feet are behind.
