The overlooked potential of Breeland Speaks and Dorian O’Daniel

A recent discussion among Kansas City Chiefs fans repeated the point this week. When speaking of this coming draft class, the point was made that, this time around, Brett Veach was going to need to select impact players instead of role players.

Role players. That’s been a term I’ve heard used to describe the Chiefs draft class of 2018 a few times now. Depth players. Role players. Sub package defenders. It’s as if the Chiefs already had enough top-tier talent and really just needed guys with grit and substance—a class full of the Frank Zombos of the world.
