Draft Sharks Bottom Line:

The Chiefs sent a 2019 first-rounder and a 2020 second-rounder to the Seahawks last year for Clark, who then got the big contract K.C. wouldn't give to Dee Ford. Given that setup, Clark disappointed. The 26-year-old posted his fewest sacks since his 2015 rookie campaign, saw his QB hits cut nearly in half vs. 2018 (27 to 14) and tied for just 38th among all EDGE players in total pressures (according to Pro Football Focus). But Clark had 1 key factor working against him.

Clark spent basically the entire season playing through a pinched nerve in his neck. He told Chiefs Wire in November that the issue had him playing "kind of timid ... kind of slow." But K.C.'s right DE flashed over the final stretch.

Clark delivered 5 sacks and 7 QB hits in the Chiefs' 3 playoff wins. After tallying just 5 QB hits through his first 8 games, Clark racked up 16 over his final 9 outings. And he played 75%, 83% and 88% of the defensive snaps in the playoff wins -- after reaching 80% just 5 times in the regular season.

As long as he makes it through this summer healthy, Clark will carry big sack upside into his 2nd year with the Chiefs (and age-27 season).
