In my recent NFL mock draft, I had the Kansas City Chiefs using their first-round pick on Stanford’s offensive tackle Jonathan Martin. I also noted in the comment that the Chiefs should really consider trading down. The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that Kansas City should make a move with their [...]

Here goes with a look at how the first round of the 2012 NFL draft will unfold. For this mock draft, I held off projecting trades up or down in the order, although as you read on there’s several spots where I think such a move is merited. 1) Indianapolis—Andrew Luck (QB, Stanford): I trust [...]

Perhaps the title of the story should be re-phrased. It’s not that I think the Kansas City Chiefs really should be in the market for Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback Peyton Manning.

Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Romeo Crennel has said he’s comfortable with Matt Cassell at quarterback, given Cassell’s key role on the 2010 AFC West championship team. That’s logical enough. But no one would consider Kansas City to be set at quarterback. Today we’ll look at whether there are realistic options in the draft for [...]

All the hype leading up to the NFL draft focuses on who a team’s first-round pick will be. But the ultimate success of a draft is usually determined by what happens in later rounds.

With the offseason upon us, it’s time to start breaking down the 2012 NFL draft and see who might be available for the Kansas City Chiefs when the pick in either the 11th or 12th spot (to be determined by a coin flip with Seattle). You can break the draft down from countless angles and [...]

In the aftermath of the Super Bowl and with the NFL offseason now upon us, let’s take one more trip into the historical time machine before it’s time for free agency and the draft. In the 46-year history of the Super Bowl, there’s been one occasion the Kansas City Chiefs reigned supreme in the NFL [...]

With it being Super Bowl Weekend, we’ll take this time to pay brief homage to the Kansas City Chiefs’ two appearances on the NFL’s biggest stage. The first one came in the game’s inaugural year of 1966. At the time it was just called the AFL-NFL Championship Game, and the AFL, of which Kansas City [...]
