Chiefs have defensive needs, but will they attack them in the draft?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs have position groups on offense in which they have no room to add a draft pick. They have no such positions on defense, as they can use plenty of help.

The Chiefs were fifth last season in total offense and 28th in total defense. They've found several of their best offensive players in recent drafts but not as many top defenders. Two of their biggest offseason moves -- the trade of cornerback Marcus Peters and the free-agent signing of wide receiver Sammy Watkins -- further altered their already glaring imbalance between the two sides of the ball.
