player. 124. <p>The Chiefs have lost Eric Berry for an indefinite amount of time due to his illness so it would make sense to have a backup plan. Now, you’re probably thinking “why take a possible backup plan this high in the 1st-round?” Well, I’ll tell you.</p>

They could go cornerback here, but with the 18th pick to get the best safety in the draft isn’t bad at all.</p>. Strong Safety. Alabama. Landon Collins. 18
