Welcome to 2015 NFL Draft day! The rumors are already flowing and we'll expect to hear more on the Kansas City Chiefs and their draft picks. The Chiefs have day one draft pick in the first round (No. 18 overall) where they have been linked to plenty of players.
Most people seem to agree that these are the Chiefs needs: cornerback, offensive line, defensive end, inside linebacker and receiver. Most people just happen to disagree on which one is the biggest need. The Chiefs have been connected to cornerbacks such as Kevin Johnson and Trae Waynes as well as inside linebacker prospects like Eric Kendricks. NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has the Chiefs selecting DT Malcom Brown out of Texas while Mike Mayock and plenty of others have the Chiefs taking Florida State C Cameron Erving. The Chiefs could do a lot of things in this draft.
This is your open thread.
