Show Notes
The Chiefs draft haul of six players was widely appreciated by national critics, with most grading in the B-C range. That’s fine. Unlike nearly every team in the NFL, the Chiefs weren’t drafting to fill an immediate need with 20 of 22 starters returning from the Super Bowl championship squad.
Still, there were some intriguing selections and perhaps some immediate contributors. Beat writer Herbie Teope breaks down the six drafts selections, from top pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire to seventh-rounder “BoPete Keyes” and how they might fit into the Chiefs’ quest to repeat as NFL champion.
