The Chiefs began the night with 9 more picks (10 overall counting their first round pick – Felix Anudike-Ozomah) so narrowing that down to 8 more was important. Important simply because the Chiefs don’t have room on their roster for 10 total new players. Fans need to know that just because a player is taken in the 2nd or 3rd rounds, doesn’t mean they’re not as good as a first round talent.

For those of you thinking the Chiefs needed to take a –> WR, an OT and an Edge Rusher early in this draft… guess what… you were right. That’s exactly what they did with their first three picks. We have one more day of the Draft and as you can tell by GM Brett Veach’s picks from the past two seasons, they all count. Big time. Go Chiefs!
