Coffee with the Chiefs – Looking defense in draft

Good morning, Addicts! I hope the work week is going well for you. We only have another two days before the weekend, which allows us to do whatever the heck we want. This guy is going ring shopping, which means I’ll be very happy and yet my wallet will be very sad all at the same time. Might need a beverage afterwards, if only for the lonely wallet.
