6. Ramik Wilson, LB, Chiefs Wilson had a bit of an up and down debut for the Chiefs, leading the team with six tackles and playing well in pass coverage but generating a negative grade against the run. There will be ample room for playing time with this Chiefs defense, especially at inside linebacker. I was impressed by Wilson in his time at Georgia, but he has a long way to go before he proves he belongs as a starter in the NFL. He picked off the first pass of his football career in the Chiefs’ preseason opener, and has some momentum going right now. The team has been impressed with him pretty much ever since they drafted him. If he keeps making plays, he’s going to find himself in the starting lineup before too long.
