The Chiefs have taken another step toward inking all nine of their 2016 draft picks, as the club announced deals with fourth-round cornerback Eric Murray and fifth-round receiver/return man Tyreek Hill on Monday.
That means all but one of their draft picks — cornerback KeiVarae Russell, a third-round pick — is currently under contract.
Hill, Murray and Russell were among the nine draft picks who participated in the club's rookie minicamp, which was held May 7-9 at the team's practice facility, even though none of them were under contract at the time.
There has been plenty of attention surrounding Hill, who pleaded guilty last August to domestic abuse by strangulation of his pregnant girlfriend, since the Chiefs selected him with the 165th overall pick.
