Will the Cheifs Draft the Linebacker from UCLA? 

With the possibility of Tamba Hali leaving via free agency, the Chiefs must find a replacement. Kansas City must also soon find a replacement for Mike Vrabel. 

Ayers is a solid fit for the Chiefs. He has the size and speed to play off the edge in Kansas City's 3-4 scheme.

Ayers can rush the passer, stop the run and drop into coverage. He is a versatile athlete that will contribute right away for this defense.
