Sizing up the NFL Draft in Kansas City and the Chiefs’ haul, plus Dante Hall | podcast
The NFL Draft in Kansas City has passed and evaluations are underway. The early returns are positive for the Chiefs, who added seven newcomers to the roster, and for Kansas City. The area entertained an estimated 300,000 fans at Union Station and the National WWI Museum and Memorial.
The Chiefs and NFL Draft are the topics on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast. First, you’ll hear from Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt. He met with reporters on Friday, before the second and third rounds, and touched on several topics, including Patrick Mahomes’ contract and the recent NFLPA findings that weren’t kind to the Chiefs.
After Hunt, former Chiefs return specialist Dante Hall spoke about his induction into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. I think you’ll be surprised to hear about his favorite play in a Chiefs uniform.
We end the show with a conversation with Chiefs beat writer Herbie Teope. On his final duty for The Star, he evaluates the Chiefs draft haul.
