After going without a selection in the first round Semyon Varlamov Jersey , the Kansas City Chiefs will have a second-round pick and two third-round choices when the NFL draft resumes Friday night.
Unless new general manager Brett Veach decides to trade some of them away.
Veach floated the possibility of trading into the first round Thursday night, but he ultimately stood pat. That means the Chiefs' first selection in this year's draft is expected to come at No. 54 overall, with a pair of third-round selections eight picks apart.
The Chiefs are expected to address their porous defense. They have a glaring need for a cornerback, pass rusher and defensive lineman Authentic Jordan Eberle Jersey , though tight end and offensive line are also possibilities.
The Packers have seen big changes to their front office and coaching staff since the end of the season with new General Manager Brian Gutekunst joining new offensive and defensive coordinators as the team tries to bounce back from their first losing season since 2008.
There have also been changes to the roster, including the departure of wide receiver Jordy Nelson and acquisitions of free agents like Jimmy Graham and Muhammad Wilkerson. Head coach Mike McCarthy remains in place, but said at last week’s league meetings that the changes have gone beyond the new hires in those positions. McCarthy said the team has taken a “scrub-brush approach to the whole system” that includes changes to their well-worn offensive playbook.
“This offseason resembles a Year One offseason,鈥?McCarthy said Authentic Nick Bjugstad Jersey , via ESPN.com. 鈥淥bviously the defense is going through that because they鈥檙e building a brand-new playbook, new coaching staff, new philosophy. There is some carryover from our old defense. But offensively, when you have the same offensive system for 12 years Jake Muzzin Jersey , you鈥檙e playing late into the playoffs, you usually turn the page and evaluate and just try to evolve off what you did last year. We鈥檝e taken a totally different approach. We鈥檝e gone back to Page 1 in the playbook.”
One thing that won’t change about the offense is that it will lean heavily on quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose broken collarbone contributed enough to the team’s slide in 2017 and whose health will be vital to the chances of the new approach finding better success.
