KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A few quick thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs' seventh-round draft pick.
The pick: Da'Ron Brown, wide receiver, Northern Illinois
My take: Brown was a productive player at something less than the best level of college football. He caught 68 passes for 1,065 yards and six touchdowns last season as a senior, so there's something there. But Brown, who ran just 4.54 in the 40 at the combine, faces a tough battle to merely make the roster. The Chiefs also drafted Georgia wide receiver Chris Conley and may not have roster room for more than one rookie receiver.
Two drafted receivers: The Chiefs hadn't drafted a wide receiver since 2012 before taking Conley and Brown this year. The Chiefs also drafted a pair of receivers three years ago, Fresno State's Devon Wylie in the fourth round and Michigan's Junior Hemingway in the seventh. Wylie is long gone but Hemingway remains with the Chiefs.
