The Kansas City Chiefs faced a need for more young talent and overall depth in the secondary heading into the 2020 NFL Draft but ignored the roster issue for the first two days of the event. On Day 3, the Chiefs finally addressed things with the selection of Louisiana Tech’s L’Jarius Sneed in the fourth round.
Before we get to Sneed, it’s important to note the context of the pick. The Chiefs have only two cornerbacks under contract after the 2020 season in starter Charvarius Ward and rotational corner Rashad Fenton. The Chiefs have been placing one-year bandages on the position ever since Marcus Peters was traded.
