THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
— NFL Network draft analyst
Mike Mayock on Eric Fisher being
taken No. 1 overall by the Chiefs.
Kansas City holds top NFL draft selection for the first time in team history
Associated Press
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was the last time the Chiefs used their first draft pick on an offensive tackle?
A: 1999, 14th overall, when they drafted John Tait.
Pro Football Reference
THE MORNING BREW Chiefs look to improve offense with draftees
The Kansas City Chiefs went into the 2013 NFL Draft with a plan to improve the offense. By accomplishing the plan, general manager John Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid invest ed their first four draft picks on offensive players, and rightfully so.
The Chiefs scored a league-low 17 offensive touchdowns and produced only 13.2 points per game last year. The Chiefs also committed 37 turnovers on offense, tying for first with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles for most giveaways.
Kansas City's defense wasn't perfect in 2012, but it limited its opponents in scoring in some games. Most notably, the Chiefs stood up to the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos in the second meeting.
If Kansas City's offense rewards its defense by securing the football and getting to the end zone more, the team will be more competitive in 2013.
However, the offense responded most of the time by either turning the ball over or going three-and-outs rather than scoring.
The Chiefs drafted offensive tackle Eric Fisher, tight end Travis Kelce and running back Knile Davis with their first three picks they kept this past weekend and
traded away their second-round pick to San Francisco for quarterback Alex Smith earlier this season.
Fisher, taken with the No. 1 overall pick, is a versatile offensive lineman and is likely to replace Branden Albert on the left side. Fisher also gives Smith better protection from his blind side, which allows him to feel more comfortable in the pocket.
With Kelce on the roster, the Chiefs have another option to consider at tight end. Kelce had a breakout senior year while playing at Cincinnati. He scored eight touchdowns last season, which ranks second among all tight ends in the nation in 2012.
Tight end Anthony Fasano, who was signed after spending the last five years with the Miami Dolphins, gives the Chiefs more to work with. But the draft pick is
likely due to Tony Moakei's quiet season after suffering a knee injury from the year before. If Moeaki continues to struggle, the door for Kelce opens up and he could be an impact player for the Chiefs.
With Reid's offense being very pass-oriented, Chiefs fans can expect Kelce to be targeted a lot during his rookie campaign.
As for the running back position, the Chiefs were seeking a reliable running back to play behind Jamaal Charles. The Chiefs saw Davis was on the board and snagged him late in the third round.
Although he had a low-key 2012 season, Davis has a lot of potential. He rushed for more than 1,300 yards with 13 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2010 and was named first-team All-SEC by the Associated Press and second-team All-SEC by the conference coaches.
However, a season-ending left ankle injury prevented him from seeing the 1,000-yard mark again in college. He decided to forego his last year of eligibility, and the Chiefs decided to give him an opportunity.
If Davis returns to his 2010 form, he can complement Charles and will be a big asset to the offense.
Kansas City's offense has some strong pieces in Charles and wide receiver
Dwayne Bowe. Rather than selecting another quarterback in the draft, the front office constructed an offense and gave Smith weapons to work with this season.
Moving forward, the veterans and rookies on the Chiefs will work together in organized team activities, training camp and preseason games. This gives Reid and offensive coordinator Doug Pederson some time to get a good look at how the players work together before kicking off the regular season in Jacksonville on Sept. 8.
With lots of talented players on the team, the Chiefs have a chance to improve from last place in the league. The Denver Broncos still stand in the way as the top team in the AFC West. But offensively, the Chiefs will be better and will put more points on the scoreboard this season to help improve from last year's two-win season and perhaps try to compete for a spot in the playoffs in December.
