Brett Veach indicated that the Chiefs need help in the defensive backfield, offensive line, edge rusher, and wide receiver positions.
The No. 9 pick allows the Chiefs to select from a pool of closely graded players, potentially filling multiple roster needs with an impact player.
Projected wide receivers include Carnell Tate from Ohio State, Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State, and Makai Lemon from USC.
