The Kansas City Chiefs need to get quality players at a certain set of positions in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Every year, we hear all this talk about taking the best player available from general manager John Dorsey. While that is fine and well in logic, the Chiefs should move off that position to some degree come Thursday, April 28 and look for a certain set of positions.

Kansas City has a very talented roster. The Chiefs are already set at most positions in terms of starters, and in some cases, have ample depth. There is no reason to take a linebacker if he’s the best on the board when you already have eight quality ones.

Hopefully, Dorsey realizes that this team needs a corner and then subsequently help at wide receiver and offensive line. Those should be the first three picks for this team, especially considering the Chiefs aren’t likely to lose anybody notable in free agency next year. Kansas City has to find a running mate for Marcus Peters first and foremost. After that, go ahead and get a compliment for Jeremy Maclin if somebody grabs your eye in the second round.

While you never want to reach, the Chiefs shouldn’t have to in order to achieve these goals. Kansas City is trying to win a Super Bowl in 2016, and isn’t doing that with this current group at corner.
