Going into last weekend’s NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs needed help across the defensive line. So with the next-to-last pick of the second round, they took Tennessee defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott — and then just three picks later, selected Louisville defensive end Ashton Gillette.
Neither player was on the short lists of very many Kansas City fans.
Norman-Lott was in for just 26% of the Volunteers’ defensive snaps last season — but when he spoke to reporters during the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp on Saturday, he noted there weren’t very many to go around.
