In case you missed it, I picked Louisiana Tech defensive lineman Vernon Butler for the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of ESPN NFL Nation’s mock draft. But for me, the choice was not as clear as last year, when I hit with my projection on the first-round position (cornerback) but not the player (I had Kevin Johnson of Wake Forest but in the real draft he had already been selected so the Chiefs went with Marcus Peters).
The Chiefs are picking later this year (28th as opposed to 18th last year) but they still have plenty of appealing options.
