This week on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, we’ve heard from Chiefs owner and CEO Clark Hunt, general manager Brett Veach, and Kansas City Sports Commission president Kathy Nelson about the NFL Draft in Kansas City.
Now, let’s hear from The Star’s Chiefs coverage crew. Columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian along with beat writer Jesse Newell share their thoughts on the Chiefs’ strategy and suggest how the rookie class might fare this season. It has a big task ahead if it’s to top last year’s rookie class success.
After a break, we discuss Kansas City’s performance in holding its first NFL Draft. More than 300,000 were estimated to have attended the event at Union Station and the National WW1 Museum and Memorial. We got lucky with the weather. Preparation and hard work did the rest.
