ESPN mock drafts see Chiefs taking a receiver in first round - Kansas City Star
To hear ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. tell it, the Chiefs could go in several different directions with their first-round pick come May. "They could go wide receiver, they could look for a defensive lineman, they could look for a safety or a tight end," Kiper said during a conference call Thursday. But Kiper, who also released his second mock draft Thursday, said that the depth of one of those positions, in particular, could present the Chiefs with a general manager’s dream: a chance to take the best player at a position of need. "Because of the great depth and talent at receiver and that’s something I think the Chiefs need to add, I think probably the first round would be the chance to do it," Kiper said.
