A tradition unlike any other: KC Chiefs’ NFL Draft caps are once again terrible

Barring a trade, two men will be handed a cap tonight following a call from Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach. After hearing their name called by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the men will slip on the caps and smile broadly.
