Charles Harris. 24. player. 124. . EDGE. Missouri

Defense wins championships, and while the Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of talent on that side of the ball, it’s never a bad idea to keep adding players that can get to the quarterback.

Missouri’s Charles Harris is someone who could keep climbing up draft boards as the season continues. He’s a surprisingly polished pass rusher off of the edge with more than one move to create separation. He has the ideal size of a 3-4 outside linebacker at 6’3” and 255 pounds.

While Harris wouldn’t be a workhorse at the position coming into Kansas City, he could be a great rotational piece to keep fellow pass rushers fresh and occasionally make some big plays for the Chiefs.
