Chiefs beef up problem areas in NFL Draft

In the first two days of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Chiefs diligently addressed positions of need, so it's only fitting that the third day of the draft brought more of the same.

On Saturday, the Chiefs — who had five draft picks at their disposal — selected two inside linebackers (Ramik Wilson of Georgia and D.J. Alexander of Oregon State), a tight end (James O'Shaughnessy of Illinois State), a nose tackle (Rakeem Nunez-Roches of Southern Miss) and a receiver (Da'Ron Brown of Northern Illinois).

The haul brought the final tally for the Chiefs to two receivers, two inside linebackers, two corners, a center, a defensive end and a tight end — a rather concentrated effort to beef up widely understood weak spots.
