Good morning, Addicts! It’s Thursday and with that, we are cruising toward another weekend. We are also at the last day of March, which gives us some hope that the warm weather is not all that far off.

As for the Kansas City Chiefs, we continue to track all the mock drafts as we are four weeks away from the 2016 NFL Draft in Chicago. Kansas City will be picking 28th in the first round, and there will be ample options when the Chiefs are on the clock. The question is who will general manager John Dorsey go with?

"Steven Nelson is one the Chiefs options for a third cornerback.

"It’s pretty clear that John Dorsey’s strategy revolved around keeping the Chiefs own free agents. Bringing back Eric Berry, Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson seemed like a no-brainer, but Jaye Howard and Mitchell Schwartz were nice surprises."
