Kansas City Chiefs 2014 NFL Draft Picks

The Kansas City Chiefs under Andy Reid version 2014 will be under pressure to repeat their type of success last season to make it to another playoff spot this next season. The Chiefs 2014 NFL draft picks focus on drafting developmental prospects rather than plug-and-play starters right off the bat.

Dee Ford, a pass rushing outside linebacker for the Chiefs, did not fill any void to their already bolster pass rushing department with Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. Phillip Gaines on the other hand, might replace Brandon Flowers which is a candidate for a trade for scheme-fit issues to their new defense. Here are the Kansas City Chiefs 2014 NFL draft picks:
