Taken in the fifth round (145th overall) of the NFL Draft on Saturday, new Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Darian Kinnard could easily have ended up elsewhere.
Kansas City had come into the draft without a fifth-round pick, but had acquired one (158th overall) in a trade that allowed the New England Patriots to move up four picks in the second round. Ranked as the 70th overall player in our consensus draft rankings, Kinnard was a player the Chiefs wanted — and was still on the board as the fifth round began with pick 144.
