KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- When the Kansas City Chiefs made their six draft picks, they didn't just have the 2018 season in mind, of course. But the quantity of their choices practically guarantees Kansas City will get more from these rookies than it did last season.
That's because the Chiefs' top five picks were defensive players. The Chiefs, while loaded at many spots on offense, were thin at many positions on the other side of the ball even before they cleared out some longtime starters.
"These guys will be on the field and be contributors," general manager Brett Veach said.
