The Chiefs signed third-round defensive tackle Khalen Saunders on Monday, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter). With that, the Chiefs have wrapped up their entire draft class. 
Saunders is slated to back up Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi on the interior line in 2019. For now, he’ll practice with the first-stringers while Chris Jones stays away from the club in an effort to land a new contract.
The Western Illinois product impressed in his final year on campus with 42 tackles and 4.5 sacks from the interior. Saunders boasts impressive agility for a 324-pound lineman and could have a bright future if he’s able to improve his conditioning.
Here’s the full rundown of the Chiefs’ 2019 draft class, via PFR’s tracker:
- 2-56: Mecole Hardman, WR (Georgia): Signed
- 2-63: Juan Thornhill, S (Virginia): Signed
- 3-84: Khalen Saunders, DT (Western Illinois): Signed
- 6-201: Rashad Fenton, CB (South Carolina): Signed
- 6-214: Darwin Thompson, RB (Utah State): Signed
- 7-216: Nick Allegretti, C (Illinois): Signed
Such a disappointment when players hold out or dont show up to team events. I know its just my opinion but i feel like your not a team player if you dont show up. Voluntary or not.
