2015 NFL Mock Draft: KC Chiefs Looking For Balance

Apparently Kansas does have a football team, and Ben Heeney is the best player to come out of KU this year. While Kansas isn’t known for producing terrific football players, Heeney could be the next big thing here in Kansas City.

It’s no secret that Derrick Johnson is getting older and this may or may not be his final season as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.

With that said, drafting Ben Heeney is a good idea because he can sit and learn from Johnson in 2015 and then possibly take over the reigns the following season.

"Kansas City’s defense has very few holes, but the interior-linebacker spot could use some help. Whether it is in Kansas City or somewhere else, don’t be surprised if Heeney starts within the first couple of weeks of the 2015 NFL season. – Vousoughian"

If the Chiefs drafted both Heeney and Dorial Green-Beckham, the team could have a rookie from Kansas and a rookie from Missouri (well, originally). Wouldn’t that be swell?
