Tim Williams. 24. player. 124. . OLB. Alabama

The Kansas City Chiefs will be getting Justin Houston back at some point this season. However, looking forward, the Chiefs could use some more depth at outside linebacker. Tamba Hali is already 32 years old and Dee Ford hasn’t looked like an impact player, at least not yet.

Alabama is going to produce a ton of first-round picks in 2017, including Tim Williams potentially. Williams is an explosive pass rusher that can get to the quarterback in a hurry. He primarily plays on passing downs and is still developing as an overall linebacker.

Fortunately for the Chiefs, they can afford to have Williams rotate behind Houston and Hali while making some big plays on third down as a rookie.
