If Blythe wins the job in training camp, Humphrey can develop behind the scenes before taking over that spot on the offensive line in 2022.

LB Nick Bolton, Missouri: The Chiefs need another athletic linebacker, and Bolton would add more sideline-to-sideline speed for Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. Last season, Bolton led the Tigers with 95 tackles, 15 pass breakups and two interceptions. He is perhaps the most well-rounded linebacker left on the board.

CB Asante Samuel Jr., Florida State: One of the smoothest cornerbacks in the draft, Samuel, whose father played in the league, could have a smooth transition into the Chiefs’ defense. The Chiefs love mixing their coverages, and Samuel is talented enough to be effective in press, man-to-man coverage or in zone. He can also be a starter on the perimeter or as the nickel.

DE Carlos Basham, Wake Forest: If Odeyingbo is off the board, then the Chiefs can turn their attention to Basham, the seventh-ranked defensive end. In his last 20 college games, Basham recorded 16 sacks. Basham’s talent and production should make him a better selection than Breeland Speaks and Tanoh Kpassagnon, two former second-round picks for the Chiefs who never became consistent contributors.

Got half of them.
