## Resource

The draft class is complete. How did the Chiefs fare? The question ultimately cannot be answered for a few years, but the Chiefs made some bold moves, including turning the draft’s first trade. Columnist Sam McDowell and Chiefs insider Pete Sweeney drill down on all the selections and evaluate the class on SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3 FM). From first-round pick Mansoor Delane to the final, surprising selection of quarterback Garrett Nussmeier — both from LSU — we break down where the Chiefs potentially succeeded and where roster work remains. Also, a final word on the WNBA preseason game played in Kansas City on Monday night, and what it may say about the city’s chances of landing a team in the league. Rundown (timestamps are approximate) 0:50 — Speculation season is over, here how some of our mockdrafts played out 3:08 — The statement the Chiefs made by taking 4 defensive players in a row 14:14 - How the offensive picks from the draft could help the Chiefs struggles 29:56 - What else is on Blair’s radar? 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.
