2016 NFL Draft: Georgia Tech CB D.J. White Selected in the 6th Round by the Kansas City Chiefs

With the 178th overall pick in the 6th round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Georgia Tech CB D.J. White.

In White, NFL teams will be getting a player whose underwhelming physical abilities are made up for with fantastic technique, instincts, and intelligence. It seems unlikely that White would be able to lock down some of the most physically imposing receivers in the NFL, and may not have a future as a team's top cornerback. However, he's a highly coachable player who should contribute immediately and add depth to the Kansas City secondary.
