Sean Smith, Kansas City Chiefs

Smith certainly has the height that coach Bruce Arians would like.  At 6-3 he is amongst the taller of the corner free agents.  He is also 28, will be 29 this July.  He has had a consistent performance for the Chiefs since joining them in 2013.

Last season he had 45 tackles and two interceptions. He has 10 career interceptions.  Last season he also had 12 passes defensed after having 16 passes defensed in 2014. Despite only being 28 he already has seven years of NFL experience as well, so that is an upside right there.

He started all 13 games he played in 2015 and started all 16 games in three of the previous four seasons and only missed on start but still played in that game in 2013.  He is a guy that can be counted on to be there week in and week out.
