With 10 draft picks, the NFL Draft possibilities seemingly are endless for the Chiefs.

But there are some positions that definitely need to be addressed, and on today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writer Jesse Newell discusses what the Chiefs might do when the draft arrives in two weeks.

Edge rusher? Wide receiver? RIght tackle? The Chiefs likely will look for answers at each of those slots, the way they addressed their defensive backfield last offseason. And how did that work out? Three rookies started in the KC secondary in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

An early trade isn’t out of the realm of possibility. The Chiefs have made moves involving their first-round draft selection every year save one since 2016. We discuss what would entice the Chiefs to make such a move this time.
