Who will the Kansas City Chiefs take in the 2016 NFL Draft? The latest 2016 NFL mock drafts tell us ... they have no idea. Mock drafts are a fun way to pass the time as long as you understand that they mean nothing, especially before free agency. Once you accept they're meaningless, it's more fun to examine the scenarios out there.
For the Chiefs, there are a lot of scenarios. Like the past couple of years, the Chiefs go into the draft without any glaring needs. Sure, the Chiefs do have needs -- defensive lineman, cornerback, offensive lineman and so on -- but none of them are so pressing that the Chiefs have to force a pick. That's the way it should be.
SB Nation looked at 30 different mock drafts and tallied the results for each team, including the Chiefs. The most popular pick came in with 14 percent of the mocks. They even created this neat chart to show you which players the mocks are selecting for KC.
What do I take out of this? A reminder that it's February and we have no idea who the Chiefs will be picking.
