The returning Oakland coach made his initial Raiders debut 20 years ago in Kansas City, so it's fitting that he would start again in the same place.
Kansas City Chiefs
Round 2 (54): Lorenzo Carter, OLB, Georgia
Round 3 (78): Holton Hill, CB, Texas
Round 3 (86): Mason Cole, C, Michigan

The team added depth at LB by signing Joe Thomas in free agency, but by no means is Thomas a replacement for Hitchens who was one of the most productive defenders and special teamers on the Cowboys for the past four seasons.
