## Resource

Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice won’t be suspended by the NFL, plus KC picked up a former first-round cornerback in Kaiir Elam. Those two positions will be a priority when the Chiefs are on the clock for the NFL Draft later this month. Will they have an impact on the Chiefs’ plans? After the break, former professional soccer star Matt Besler talks the World Cup, and what Kansas City should expect when the games and base camps arrive in June. Besler would know — He was a starting defender on the 2014 U.S. World Cup team that emerged from the group stage to the knockout round in Brazil. Rundown (timestamps are approximate) 0:15 — Rashee Rice won’t be suspended. How does that affect Chiefs’ plans? 7:20 — Chiefs take flyer on former first-round cornerback 14:09 — The first Kansas Citian to play in the World Cup talks the base camp experience 19:02 — Is Kansas City ready for the World Cup? 24:26 — What else is on Blair’s radar?
