Here are the slots for the Chiefs' picks on Friday:
Round 2: (17) No. 49 overall
Round 3: (16) No. 80 overall
Round 3: (34) No. 98 overall (Compensatory)
There were plenty of surprises in round one on Thursday night, but as exciting as the first round of the draft always is for fans, the truth is that successful NFL teams are built upon the strength of their ability to get good players on the second and third days of the draft.
That's never more evident than to look at the current Chiefs roster, which features three players in running back Jamaal Charles, linebacker Justin Houston and tight end Travis Kelce, arguably three of the most important players on the team, who were all third-round picks in their respective drafts.
The good news for the Chiefs is that there are still plenty of very good players available.
Based on the rankings of NFL Network Draft analyst Mike Mayock, here are some key names to follow as the draft unfolds on Friday.
