The Kansas City Chiefs are going to be an interesting watch in the NFL Draft, as Brett Veach has two first-round picks to work with.
At No. 9 and No. 29, the Chiefs have a lot of options on the board, and exactly where the franchise will go is a great conversation starter. Some think corner, given Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson moving on in free agency, while others think the offensive line and receiver should be targets as well.
The beauty of the two first-round picks is that the Chiefs, in all likelihood, will fill two of those holes early on in the draft, leaving other picks to fill out the roster.
For NFL.com's Kevin Patra, there are some questions over the offense entering the draft.
"Xavier Worthy hasn’t become an every-down playmaker, and Rashee Rice has been on the field for just 12 games the past two years," Patra wrote. "With two first-round picks, will one target a big-play WR? Do the Chiefs finally bring in Travis Kelce’s eventual heir at tight end?"
