As teams begin to have more and more success in the NFL, their draft pick will drop lower and lower. That has begun to happen over the past few years to the Kansas City Chiefs, who will pick 28th in the 2016 NFL Draft after selecting 18th overall last season.
Here is a historical look at all the 28th overall picks since 1970 (1970 was the first year of the combined NFL Draft; an AFL-NFL common draft was held from 1967-1969):
