Who did the Chiefs, Raiders and Chargers pick up in the draft?
The Kansas City Chiefs used their first pick on an OT from OSU, Josh Simmons, but then defense heavy for the rest of the draft getting a DT, edge, and CB with their next three picks along with a LB on day 3. On the other side of the ball they added a speedy WR and a RB on day three.
The Las Vegas Raiders focused more on offense getting “can’t miss” RB Ashton Jeanty with their first pick (6th overall) and then going offense heavy for the rest of the draft. They used their day two picks on a WR, IOL and OT along with a CB. On Day three they were balanced picking up two WRs and a QB along with two DTs and a LB.
The Los Angeles Chargers, like the Faiders, also used their first pick on a RB, Omarion Hampton. On day two they picked up a WR and a DT. On day three they picked up an edge, safety and CB on D and a WR, TE and OG on O.
The TE that they drafted in the fifth is one who many thought that the Broncos should target, Oronde Gadsen II, but instead the Broncos only drafted one TE and it was with their final pick – hoping for another Antonio Gates or Mo Ali Cox.
