Chiefs' Draft Dilemma: WR or CB?

0:00On April 9th, for the first time in years, the Kansas City Chiefs are flying under the radar, heading into the NFL draft. They've got the ninth overall pick after a down season, and other teams like the Seattle Seahawks with their shut down defense and the Los Angeles Rams, who snagged their top cornerbacks, Trent McDuffie, and Jalen Watson are stealing the show. Even the messy Philadelphia Eagles are grabbing more buzz, that leaves Kansas City at a crossroads with this pick. They could rebuild their secondary, maybe grabbing LSU's Mansour Delane, who's pegged as the top corner in this class, to plug those holes left by the Rams trade. But the real talk is about helping Patrick Mahomes, who's been grinding without a true number one wide receiver since Tyree Kill bounced. He's made it work with role players, but none have that all around game to unlock him fully. This draft class is loaded with elite whiteouts, who could fall to nine, like Ohio State's Carnell Tate, Arizona State's Jordan Tyson, or USC's McCuy.

It's clear the chiefs need to look ahead, not dwell on the glory days. Traffing a stud receiver might be the juice to get them squeezing wins again.
