Perhaps there’s no bigger question for the Kansas City Chiefs than the cornerback position in 2016. With veteran Sean Smith defecting for the Oakland Raiders and former starter Phillip Gaines nursing a knee injury, Kansas City doesn’t have an answer opposite of Defensive Rookie of the Year Marcus Peters.
It’s with this in mind that general manager John Dorsey drafted a trio of players who play the position in the 2016 NFL Draft. Between them, one of them is likely to emerge as a candidate for the No. 2 cornerback role.
Thus far, the attention’s been on the team’s third-round pick out of Notre Dame KeiVarae Russell.
