March Madness And Chiefs CB Marcus Cooper from The Mothership
Much like the underdogs in the NCAA tourney, Kansas City Chiefs CB
Marcus Cooper came from under the radar to play a more-than-significant role in 2013, both on-and-off the field. During the recently-held 101 Awards, Cooper was named the Mack Lee Hill Award winner, given to the top rookie or first-year player on the Chiefs roster who best exemplifies the spirit of the late Mack Lee Hill, who passed away during his second season with the Chiefs in 1965.However, Cooper's preseason didn't start favorably; he was cut by the San Francisco 49ers, causing an emotion that continues to fuel him on a daily basis.

Look For Chiefs To Draft Return Specialist from ESPN
With Hester out of the picture, the Chiefs are still in the market for a return specialist. They reportedly met with journeyman Micheal Spurlock but appear to prefer using a rookie, perhaps in combination with the players they already have.
Odell Beckham Jr. of LSU is one of the better return specialists available in the draft and can also fulfill Reid's preference for the returner to help elsewhere.
Clinton-Dix's Current Visits Don't Include Chiefs from Chiefs Spin
Given his status, it's only natural for Clinton-Dix, who recently visited with the Detroit Lions, to make the rounds with franchises in need of a safety.
Clinton-Dix at this time has predraft visits arranged with "numerous teams," a source familiar with his schedule told ChiefsSpin.com.

While you can argue with some of their decisions, their commitment has been clear. The Chiefs have made building their offensive line a priority.
