With the twenty first pick in the NFL draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select: Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois. The Chiefs are looking to add to their defensive front line, and Liuget fits the bill. Liuget is used to getting double teamed, and will anchor the Chief’s 3-4 defensive scheme.
With the twenty second pick in the NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts select: Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin. The Colts need depth at a number of spots, and one is the offensive line. They address their need with the last of the premiere tackles in the draft.
