The team will, of course, continue to monitor the third round. They could even use some of ..read more

Eric Seals / USA TODAY NETWORK What should Kansas City do during the second and third rounds on Friday night? When the Kansas City Chiefs swapped their third-round pick for a fourth-round selection — part of the deal they made to take Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy at the end of Thursday night’s first round — they cut their remaining top-100 selections in half.

This is not ideal, because Kansas City still needs a left tackle to compete with second-year player Wanya Morris. The Chiefs ..read more
