Day 2 defensive haul gives Chiefs flexibility on Day 3

Published

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After loading up on defense on Day 2 of the draft, the Kansas City Chiefs will try to plug remaining holes on both sides of the ball Saturday beginning with the fourth round.

The Chiefs have the 24th pick in the round, along with a sixth-round pick and two choices in the seventh round. But that doesn't mean much considering the Chiefs used none of their original picks Friday night, when they moved around to grab a defensive end, defensive tackle and outside linebacker.

Kansas City could still use help at cornerback, so general manager Brett Veach may not be done with that side of the ball. Wide receiver, tight end and offensive line are also areas to address, especially with a new quarterback in Patrick Mahomes II under center.
