Missouri DL Darius Robinson has versatility to be a perfect fit for Chiefs' defense in 2024

Robinson shined in both individual and team drills during practice.

Robinson is the prototypical size that Chiefs' defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo likes in a defensive end at 6-foot-4 and 288 pounds. He played defensive tackle early in his collegiate career, giving him the versatility to play outside or inside along the defensive line, which is something Spagnuolo covets. Robinson also plays with tremendous strength and leverage.

Robinson's 35-inch arm length gives him a reach advantage against many offensive linemen. He leaves a little to be desired in quickness and first-step explosion, but he does play with a high-effort motor. With Charles Ominihu likely to be a question mark to begin the 2024 season after recently tearing his ACL, Robinson could be a nice replacement. 

With K.C. picking near the end of round two it will be iffy as to whether or not Robinson will be still available, but general manager Brett Veach has shown that he won't hesitate to trade up for a player he likes. It's also possible that Robinson elevates to first-round status. A lot will depend on Omenihu's rehab and what happens with star defensive lineman Chris Jones. If the Chiefs lose Jones, the need for a defensive lineman will shoot up their list of needs.
