## Resource

The first day of NFL Draft and with their two first round picks, the Chiefs concentrated on one side of the ball. Defense. They even engineered the draft’s first trade to move up three spots to select cornerback Mansoor Delane of LSU. On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3 FM), Chiefs beat writer Pete Sweeney, covering the draft in Pittsburgh, breaks down the Chiefs’ evening, which concluded with their selection of Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods at No. 29. We also identify the Chiefs’ needs as the draft continues on Friday and Saturday. SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff. It’s produced by Monty Davis, Irvin Zhang, Suzanne Hogan, and Gabriella Lacey, and edited by Jeff Rosen and Scott Chasen.
