With 27th pick in NFL Draft, Chiefs could have options at receiver, quarterback

While ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. currently projects the Chiefs to pick Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis with the 27th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, he expects them to have some other options intriguing first-round options, particularly at quarterback.

“They tried to get Paxton Lynch last year, and of course they passed on Dak Prescott with three fourth-round picks,” Kiper said. “They took Kevin Hogan, who they let go … you know Andy Reid’s going to draft a quarterback; he always does.”

That said, one player Kiper likes for the Chiefs early in he draft is Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, who he projects as a second-round pick who could slide up into the late first.
