Could the Chiefs be in for a draft day surprise?

By Brandon Kiley

This is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s draft season. Every team has hope, and every fan base believes this will be the year a young player changes their favorite team’s fortunes. Many of those fans (rightfully) believe they know who their team is going to select. At a minimum, they have a very good idea as to which position will come off the board when their favorite team selects in this year’s draft.

I’m not among those fans. Not this year, anyway.

This is a new feeling for me. Maybe I’m off on my read of the situation, but I personally believe this is as wide open as the Chiefs draft plans have felt in the first round in… 15 years? The last time I was this uncertain about their plans was probably 2011 when they selected Jonathan Baldwin with the 26th overall pick.

Sure, consensus has formed among national media regarding the Chiefs. Everyone nationally believes Kansas City will select a tackle with the 31st pick. That could happen. But it’s worth noting the team’s biggest expense this offseason was acquiring left tackle Jaylon Moore in free agency. It stands to reason that the general manager in charge of handing Moore $21 million in guaranteed money views Moore as the team’s starting left tackle. As such, drafting another tackle at 31 might be the last thing the team plans to do. It’s anyone’s guess, really.
