KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up the first round of the NFL draft when the Super Bowl champions picked LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with the 32nd overall selection. The Chiefs were long rumored to have interest in trading down since they have just five selections during the three-day draft. The Chiefs wound up having their pick of running backs after none had been taken in the first round. Edwards-Helaire was picked because of the way his game fits the Chiefs’ scheme, particularly his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

The Chiefs currently have 4 picks left in the draft. One in each subsequent round through the 5th round. Their next pick in round 2 is the 63rd overall pick.
