The NFL draft is about getting the players for your future, as well as getting players that you believe could help you win now, if they are your picks from the top of the draft.

It comes down to doing your homework and knowing what players you need to fill in the holes you have on either or both sides of the ball. You want to take the players that your franchise believes in. And if they are there, you do not pass on them, because you could be regretting for years to come.

This is where general managers, scouts, head coaches, and front office personnel make their mark. This is where they could prove to their teams why they were brought in.

They are constantly looking at their draft boards and adding and taking potential prospects off the board. And remember, a lot of people around the NFL say, "It does not matter where you go, it matters where you go." That plays true a lot of the time because the fit has to be right for so many reasons.

For the first time in a long time, the Kansas City Chiefs will have a high draft pick. The Chiefs' first pick comes in the top 10 at No. 9 overall. That is a spot where the Chiefs must hit on in this year's draft. The Chiefs have been one of the best teams at finding the right picks in the first round, and this year they have a chance to find a player who will help them now and in the future. General manager Brett Veach has done a good job with this team in the draft.
