Coffee with the Chiefs – 5/8 edition
It’s Friday! The work week is coming to a close and the weekend is in sight. The barbeque is just begging to be fired up and the beverages are icy cold. What better way to get ready for promises to be some beautiful weather in May? The only thing I can think of that tops all that is some Kansas City Chiefs news….BOOM. Here it is.

Chiefs part ways with assistant director of college scouting – Terez A. Paylor of Kansas City Star

Kansas City gets linebacker in 2016 NFL mock draft – Matt Conner of Arrowhead Pride

Chiefs now loaded at cornerback – Dan Schmelzer of NFL Spin Zone
"With the additions of Peters and Nelson, the Chiefs have turned the cornerback position from a potential weakness to a massive strength. Smith and Peters have the potential to be one of the best duos at the position in the NFL, while Gaines, Fleming and Nelson give them great depth as well."
