2 mistakes by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 NFL Draft
May 16, 2021
The Kansas City Chiefs just concluded their 2020 season with a disappointing performance in Super Bowl LV against eventual champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite having a strong roster on paper, it is evident that the Chiefs still have a couple of holes to address in their current lineup.
Chiefs’ 2021 NFL Draft Mistakes:
Unfortunately, the team missed out on the opportunity of adding more depth to certain position groups heading to the 2021 NFL season. Here are the two draft mistakes made by the Chiefs in the recently concluded 2021 NFL Draft:
1. Moving up to draft Duke tight end Noah Gray
That is unless rookie Tre Brown or someone else beats him out.
What makes those possibilities such a departure from Seattle s norm? Reed is 5-foot-9 and 193 pounds; Brown 5-10, 188.
Times are changing in a secondary once known for its oversized cornerbacks.
It s not that they no longer prefer big bodies such as Richard Sherman and the similarly built players who started opposite him during the Legion of Boom days. But they ve loosened what used to be fairly rigid size specifications for that position.
It started to become apparent when they played Reed on the outside in the second half of last season. It became clear when they drafted Brown in the fourth round out of Oklahoma with the second of their league-low three draft picks.

HOUSTON Some people seem to only care about the NFL Draft during the first round. In reality, it s Day 2 and 3 where talent and the next generation of the league is often found.
It s also probably why you haven t heard much of the Houston Texans. (Unless you read TexansDaily.com, of course.) They won t be picking until No. 67 and have to hope for talent to fall into the third round.
First-time GM Nick Caserio understands what it takes to build a roster. For 20 years, he worked alongside the New England Patriots staff, adding talent late and building a six-time championship team.
