SportsBeat KC: Adjusting to ‘new’ NFL Draft, and possible Chiefs targets in 1st round
An NFL Draft unlike any other approaches. Commissioner Roger Goodell will be at his New York home conducting the event. Personnel from the 32 teams will be at their own homes, too. Instead of glitzy Las Vegas, the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the draft into a remote operation. But the show goes on, and that’s great news for sports fans longing for some live sports to follow.
Also in this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Chiefs beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell discuss the issues with conducting a virtual draft and break down what the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs might be seeking in Thursday’s first round. The Chiefs hold the No. 32 pick.
