And just maybe.
The Chiefs are not due on the clock Thursday night until the final selection of the first round, the reward for having beaten the San Francisco 49ers in Miami a couple of months ago.
But even at No. 32, the selection would be more than a dozen picks higher than the Chiefs have made their initial choice the past two seasons, when Veach and Co. traded away first-round selections for players that proved to be instrumental in their Super Bowl run.
