Late in the second round of the NFL Draft, defensive tackles like Tyleik Williams of Ohio State and Alfred Collins of Texas had already come off the board, while Toledo’s Darius Alexander was still available. These were some of the high-profile players that Kansas City Chiefs fans had been expecting the team to acquire to improve its defensive interior.
But Kansas City used the 63rd overall pick to get Tennessee defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott. While he wasn’t the player many fans expected, the Chiefs had been eyeing him.
“His get-off is one of the top in this class,” director of player personnel and college scouting Ryne Nutt said of Norman-Lott on Monday.
