With just five picks \u2014 one in each of the draft\u2019s first five rounds \u2014 to work with, there were no positions selected twice, although the offense was addressed heavily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 1 &#8211; Pick 9: RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 2 &#8211; Pick 40: OT Gennings Dunker, Iowa<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 3 &#8211; Pick 74: WR Germie Bernard, Alabama<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 4 &#8211; Pick 109: TE Marlin Klein, Michigan<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 5 &#8211; Pick 146: EDGE Nadame Tucker, Western Michigan<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The pick of Love will continue to be among the most popular choices for the Chiefs with the ninth-overall selection for all of draft season, unless the team takes a huge swing on signing a free-agent running back like Breece Hall or Kenneth Walker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In this scenario, the Chiefs bolster the offense with a star ballcarrier, then continue to strengthen the unit around quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The pick of Dunker \u2014 who started at right tackle in each of the past three seasons at Iowa \u2014 has the potential to solidify the entire starting offensive line for the immediate future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">According to Liskiewitz, Dunker had success blocking for both inside and outside zone runs in college, making him a fit for the Chiefs\u2019 run game on the surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The underrated prospect has turned some heads at this week\u2019s Senior Bowl practices. He would be a refreshing complement to the Chiefs\u2019 existing defensive ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Do any of these picks get you excited?
