Chiefs

Join us with questions, comments on Chiefs, NFL Draft on SportsBeat Live today at 10

Three times in the previous five years, the Chiefs didn’t have a first-round draft pick because of a trade. The only way that streak isn’t extended this year is if the Chiefs trade back into the first round.

By obtaining left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens last week, the Chiefs surrendered their first-round selection, No. 31 overall. The Chiefs filled a need but gave up a low-cost player in the process. Also, and accordingly, there’s no big draft party for the team during the first round this year.

On today’s SportsBeat Live, Star columnist Sam Mellinger and beat writer Sam McDowell discuss Chiefs and the NFL Draft with host Blair Kerkhoff. Join us in the conversation with your questions and comments.
