Chiefs turn trade-happy in prospect pursuit during NFL draft

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs headed into the NFL draft last week with 10 selections spread across seven rounds, the massive haul due in large part to an abundance of compensatory picks.

With a roster returning mostly intact, there was little chance they'd use all of them.

General manager John Dorsey aggressively began working on trades even before the draft began. By the time things settled Saturday, he'd pulled off four of the record number of swaps in this year's draft, choosing six players he believes will help Kansas City not only this season but for several seasons to come.
