The pick is in…
With their second pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Virgina DB Juan Thornhill. The pick comes at the original slot in the second round at No. 63 overall.
During the 2018 season Thornhill accumulated 98 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, six interceptions and seven passes defended.
Here is what NFL.com’s Lance Zierlien has to say about Thornhill:
“Three-year starter who proved he could bring his instincts and ball skills with him from cornerback to safety in 2018. Thornhill’s size and cover talent should allow defensive coordinators the freedom to deploy him around the field in a variety of ways depending on the matchups and his running mate at safety. While he could garner consideration as a corner, safety gives him his best opportunity to become an early starter.”
