Going Long: If it comes down to a choice between defensive end Chris Long or Vernon Gholston, expect the Chiefs to go with Long. Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham used to coach Long's dad, Howie Long, and Chris is the type of hard worker that would fit their defense. Gholston might be the better athlete, but Long mirrors Allen for his hustle and aggressiveness. Odds favor him being the No. 5 choice in the draft -- if he's still there.
Trading places: Expect the Chiefs to actively shop for a trade that could put them into the top 12 of the draft in order to get one of the top offensive linemen. One possible trade partner could be the Buffalo Bills. With the 11th pick, the Bills are looking at wide receiver Devin Thomas and one of the three top small-college cornerbacks. By moving back, the Bills could maybe pick up a third-round pick and still have a choice of one cornerback and possibly Thomas.
huh? does he have teams confused in that 2nd paragraph?
