NFL draft predictions for all 32 teams: Who’s trading up, who’s taking a QB and more | ESPN
Chiefs won’t ignore offense this year
The Chiefs will have a more balanced draft than last year, when they took defensive players with their top five picks.

Here’s the key language from the Personal Conduct Policy: “Because the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination does not apply in a workplace investigation, the league will reserve the right to compel a player to cooperate in its investigations even when he is the target of a pending law enforcement investigation or proceeding. A player’s refusal to speak to a league investigator under such circumstances will not preclude an investigation from proceeding or discipline from being imposed.”
