KC Chiefs: 15 Best First Round Draft Picks of All-Time

Best First Round Picks by the Chiefs – Number 15: Gary Green (Chiefs cornerback from 1977-1983)

The Kansas City Chiefs have drafted some impressive cornerbacks in the first round, as showcased by the first two on this list. Dale Carter was the first corner to appear, Gary Green is now the second one.

Green was the Chiefs’ first round pick in 1977 (tenth overall) and he played his college ball at Baylor.

Green spent seven years with the Chiefs and had 24 career interceptions. He was elected to four Pro Bowls during his time in Kansas City and also was named to five All-Pro teams.

After seven seasons, 99 starts (100 games total), 24 interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), and ten fumble recoveries, Green moved onto the Los Angeles Rams. He spent two seasons there before calling it a career after the 1985 season.

Green began the storied tradition of the KC Chiefs selecting powerful cornerbacks in the first round, and hopefully that is something that will continue for years to come.
