Kansas City Chiefs. Tim Williams. 17. player. 124. . Outside Linebacker

The Kansas City Chiefs are struggling to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks this season, and one has to wonder how much longer Tamba Hali will be able to contribute as a major factor.

Kansas City could use some help on offense, but the defense remains a top priority.

Alabama outside linebacker Tim Williams has plenty of character concerns, but the Chiefs have shown a willingness to take players with red flags before (see CB Marcus Peters).

Williams is a solid pass-rusher from an edge position and also has been able to hold his own against the run.
