NFL Draft Live Blog: Kansas City Chiefs NFL Draft Updates
The NFL Draft is finally here, and the Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to add their newest crop of players. Here on Arrowhead Report on SI.com, we'll keep you updated on everything happening in the 2020 NFL Draft.
11:25 PM: Well... There's that. The Chiefs end the night by selecting RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
10:58 PM: CB Noah Igbinoghene goes 30th.
10:49 PM: The Vrabel household has arrived.
10:40 PM:
10:37 PM: Felt like the biggest lock in the draft. Patrick Queen to the Ravens. So frustrating for the Chiefs.
10:33 PM: This is a stunner over Patrick Queen, and good news for the Chiefs.
10:25 PM: I would not want to be a lamp in Aaron Rodgers' house right now.
10:20 PM: I'm starting to think we may see a pick tonight.
10:08 PM: Well, that kind of stinks. Not only is Kenneth Murray not going to be a Chief, but he's headed to the Chargers. We wrote about it.
9:50 PM:
9:47 PM: Wow, that was a reach. The Raiders took CB Damon Arnette with the 19th overall pick. We wrote about it.
9:23 PM:
9:20 PM: From Jerry Jones' spaceship, the Cowboys get CeeDee Lamb! Three receivers off the board now after none for 10 picks. Current Slack conversation: what is Vegas going to do at 19?
9:15 PM: Wow, A.J. Terrell goes 16th overall. Jordan Foote looked at Terrell as an option for the Chiefs at 32 overall. Check that scouting report out here.
9:11 PM: Another star Alabama WR is headed to the AFC West. Click here for our entire post about the Denver Broncos landing WR Jerry Jeudy.
9:02 PM: wait what is going on here?
8:59 PM: The 49ers love defensive linemen more than I've ever loved anything.
8:50 PM: Surprise! The Raiders take Henry Ruggs as the first wide receiver off of the board! We're so intrigued that we wrote a full post about Ruggs to the Raiders.
8:36 PM: Tyrann Mathieu gets it.
8:28 PM: Ten picks, zero wide receivers, so far. /Brett Veach raises one eyebrow slightly/
8:24 PM: C.J. Henderson goes to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the second cornerback off the board. As the Chiefs look to get a corner late in the draft, they just have to be rooting for that run on CBs to come as late as possible.
8:17 PM: Isaiah Simmons goes to the Cardinals, and that felt like his floor. Good for the Chiefs that he's away from the AFC West. Now let's root against linebackers being drafted for several, several hours.
8:14 PM: Well, the Chargers did it! They took QB Justin Herbert. We're so interested in this pick that we wrote an entire post about it. Come see how we feel about the AFC West's new QB.
7:55 PM: My hunch all week was that Miami was throwing out Herbert (and even offensive tackle) smoke screens to keep their path to Tua clear. Now he stays out of the AFC West, which is great news for the Chiefs.
7:51 PM: The Giants do a slightly surprising thing by selecting OT Andrew Thomas, that's fine. Should have been Simmons, in my humblest of opinions, but I'm not one to disagree with a man with a giant binder.
7:39 PM: Chase Young and Jeff Okudah going two and three makes perfect sense. I am now prepared for something interesting to happen. Rooting for Isaiah Simmons to fall... to 32, ideally.
7:25 PM: Joe Burrow to Cincy. This feels like a good time to let you know that I'm probably not going to update this post for every single pick.
7:21 PM: I genuinely love Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes' relationship, more than I probably should.
7:18 PM: Yeah, it's been a slow start, but where else are you going tonight?
7:05 PM: We're ready, and so is Andy Reid!
4 PM: We are now three hours away from the first pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, and we have you covered here on Arrowhead Report! If you're still killing time before the first pick, here is some suggested reading to bridge the gap.
