With the 2014 NFL Draft a mere 9 days away, many fans and even players are wondering who is going to be selected in what is being held as one of the deepest drafts in a long time.
For the Kansas City Chiefs there has been much speculation about not only who are they going to pick but what position are they going to focus on. Do they go with a dynamic wide receiver such as Brandin Cooks or Kelvin Benjamin? Or do they focus on the defensive side of the ball and pick up a difference maker like Minnesota’s Ra’shede Hageman or Notre Dame’s Louis Nix?
Which should they do? Offense, defense, wide receiver, defensive lineman? So many choices and so many could be the wrong one.
For the 2014 Chiefs their first pick in the upcoming draft needs to be…
Defense.
Now before the haters come out and say that they have a very good defense already, they will not get any disagreement here. I have several points as to why the Chiefs need to think defense first on May 8.
