Chiefs fans beware: No. 1 NFL draft picks can go horribly wrong
Every No. 1 overall pick is Superman on the night he is drafted, and usually for at least a short time afterward.

Do Chiefs have a surprise NFL Draft pick up their sleeve?
Even in this age of seemingly endless draft information, a general manager can go against the grain — and the sentiment of his team’s fans — and make a surprise selection with the No. 1 overall pick of the NFL Draft.
