List of Kansas City Chiefs 2014 NFL Draft Picks
By Mike Dyce
The Kansas City Chiefs addressed their defensive line in the first round by drafting Auburn defensive end Dee Ford. They went with Rice cornerback Phillip Gaines in the third round, which some speculate means Brandon Flowers could be traded.
They got some big names further down the draft, including Oregon running back De’Anthony Thomas in the fourth round who will help replace Dexter McCluster. Then they drafted Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray in the fifth round to back up Alex Smith and possibly be in position to replace him in the future.
