The days and weeks after the NFL Draft is when teams often make moves in the scouting and personnel department. The Chiefs made a few moves on Thursday announcing two promotions and one new hire.
Jim Nagy, who spent 7 years with the Patriots before joining the Chiefs, was promoted from regional scout to national scout. Kyle O'Brien, a former Patriots scout for the last 10 years, was hired as a regional scout. Ryne Nutt, who attended GM Scott Pioli's alma mater, Central Connecticut State, was elevated from scouting assistant to area scout.
The Chiefs didn't announce any other moves.
After the jump I posted the Chiefs bios for these guys.
