Kansas City Chiefs 2018 NFL Draft tracker and highlights
By Erik Lambert
It’s hard to imagine that the Kansas City Chiefs 2018 NFL draft tracker might not be the most exciting thing for fans to watch this off-season.
That’s because the action came early and fast for them. It began with a bang too when the team made two huge trades. They send star cornerback Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams for draft picks while also sending Pro Bowl quarterback Alex Smith to Washington. The Patrick Mahomes era is about to begin and the team is hoping to also find the next generation on defense.
This is Andy Reid. The guy has been doing this for a long time and knows the process. This draft likely won’t be about finding stars. It will be about building the depth of the roster around the good players they already have and hoping to find some gems. They are ready to win now provided Mahomes takes that next step as hoped. It should be fascinating.
Below, Chiefs fans will find everything they need for draft night, including their picks, roster needs, and any trades made during the 2018 NFL Draft.
