Las Vegas Raiders: 3 new Kansas City Chiefs to worry about in 2021

Nick Bolton, Linebacker

With a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs decided to bolster their defense, bringing in Nick Bolton from Missouri. Bolton was considered by many to be a first-round talent, and to get him in the second round could prove to be a legitimate steal for this Chiefs defense in 2021, and beyond.

Looking at the defense for Kansas City, there are plenty of new faces, but with everything going on with Frank Clark, there could be more coming. However, Bolton is a guy who has enough talent to come in and start right away as a rookie, and that would give the Chiefs a solid middle linebacker for the foreseeable future.

We all know what the Chiefs can do on the offensive side of the ball, but it is additions like Bolton that could make them a formidable force on defense as well. Andy Reid and company are doing everything they can to bring another title to Kansas City, and Bolton will be a leader on this defense for years to come.
