The Kansas City Chiefs weren’t finished, they’ve traded back into the seventh round with the Tennessee Titans. To trade up the Chiefs surrendered a 2021 sixth-round draft pick.
With the 237th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Chiefs selected Tulane CB Thakarius ‘Bopete’ Keyes.
In the past two seasons at Tulane, over the course of 24 games, Keyes notched 85 tackles, 18 passes defended and two interceptions.
Here is what NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein had to say about him:
“Tall cornerback with good competitive streak who uses rare arm length to his advantage in press and catch disruption. He has adequate instincts and anticipation, but lacks functional makeup speed to cover-up for missteps in coverage. Keyes tends to play too free and easy with his footwork in space. He will need better discipline and bend to improve his balance and transition quickness. Scouts are very concerned about his long speed, but zone-heavy teams may view his length and ball skills as moldable traits to work with on the practice squad.”
