Kansas City was this close last year after adding Kendrick Lewis and Eric Berry to the defensive backfield. Rookie safeties can often make the biggest impact of a drafted player.
Maybe they could use a little depth along the offensive line. They could use a linebacker, but really only if you don’t believe in Andy Studebacker.
Nose tackle is an issue. Last year it was filled by Ron Edwards and Shaun Smith. Both players played well enough, but both are free agents, and free agency may be the best way to attack a position that players generally need to grow into.
So the best player available is Purdue linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. While he’s not a great fit if you believe in Studebacker, he is a solid pass rusher who knows the game well enough to eventually fit at inside linebacker or outside linebacker in a 3-4 and provide a pass rush from either position. Kerrigan is the smart choice.
