Kansas City Chiefs tickets are experiencing a bit of a surge in popularity now that the NFL Draft is over. The Chiefs had what many considered to be the best draft performance of any team. Just check out all the grades they received from the various sportscasters. Most of the experts gave the Chiefs an A for their Draft picks. But who did they pick, and who will their choices effect their stats from last year? Let’s dive right in. But first, remember to get some Kansas City Chiefs tickets to see all of the new players.
The highlight of the Kansas City team, stats-wise was their pass defense. The Chiefs only allowed 3,022 yards through the air, and only 17 passing touchdowns, both of which were well above the league average. As individuals, eight different Kansas City Chiefs caught interceptions, although their team total in INTs, 14, was unremarkable compared to other NFL teams. One more player will probably get an interception this next season, as the Chiefs got one of the best CBs in the draft in the second round. Brandon Flowers from VT, although somewhat small, has a good chance of doing well in the NFL. He was the Chief’s third pick in the draft, but the 35th overall.
The Chiefs also helped out their defensive run-stopping ability. For the No. 5 overall pick, Kansas City picked up Glen Dorrsey, whom was considered by some to be the best available player overall. Last year KC held their opponents to only 11 rushing touchdowns, which ranked them 12th in the league in that stat. They should be even better with Dorsey plugging holes. He will be a starter and an instant difference-maker from day one.
As you might know, the Chiefs were in the bottom of the NFL in yards gained per rushing attempt (3.3) rushing touchdowns (6) and had the NFL’s lowest total rushing yardage after the regular season ended (1,248). Perhaps that’s why they elected to use both their second and fourth picks to add to the running game. The Chiefs picked up offensive lineman Branden Albert in the first round (#15 overall) and then they got a running back with the potential to play some downs next year in fourth round pick Jamaal Charles (#73 overall). Albert will start unless the sun doesn’t rise tomorrow, and that should instantly make things better for the Chiefs, who need help guarding the pass rush and getting holes for their RBs. If these new player pan out, Kansas City Chiefs tickets will allow you to see many more winning games.
