The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into the draft with the wide receiver position a potential target and names like Dorial Green-Beckham, DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor could be options and this comes as the team is dealing with Justin Houston and his contract situation and there is a chance he could hold out over the summer.
According to Pro Football Talk, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Green-Beckham is visiting with the Chiefs this week ahead of the draft. Green-Beckham is one of the more intriguing prospects in the draft, as scouts agree he has top 10 talent, but he has issues off the field. Green-Beckham dealt with a domestic violence issue and has had some drug arrests, but his size and speed could get him picked in the first round.
The Chiefs also are dealing with the Justin Houston situation, as he has been hit with the franchise tag but has not signed yet. According to Pro Football Talk, Houston was a "no-show" for voluntary workouts and that was an expected move with him not yet signing his tender. The team and Houston hope to work out a deal, but there is a chance Houston could holdout this summer.
The Chiefs are an interesting option for Green-Beckham, as they pick at number 18 and since he is expected to fall, it could be a good spot to take him. Green-Beckham is considered to be a top 10 talent and if the Chiefs look into his past and feel comfortable, they could be getting a steal in the middle of the first round. The team did not have a TD pass caught by a WR last season and while they signed Jeremy Maclin, they could use more at the position.
Green-Beckham previously was with Oklahoma and Missouri and he has also visited with the Bengals and 49ers this offseason. According to Pro Football Talk, the Minnesota Vikings and the Baltimore Ravens also have interest in Green-Beckham. The receiver was kicked off the Missouri football team after dealing with his drug issues and the violence incident and he later transferred to Oklahoma, but never played there.
Green-Beckham is 6-6 and weighs 225 pounds, making him an ideal redzone target for teams. Green-Beckham had 87 catches for 1278 yards and 17 TDs in two seasons with Missouri.
