Chiefs Chiefs edging closer to another No. 1 overall draft pick - Page 6

It doesn't take a genius to realize this season is quickly getting away from the Kansas City Chiefs, who have lost four straight games and at 1-4 are on the bottom of the AFC West.

It does take people of above average intelligence to figure out their chances for getting the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft. Fortunately, the fine folks at ESPN Analytics fit into that category.

They've crunched the numbers on what remains of the season for the Chiefs and the rest of the NFL teams and determined Kansas City will likely have the 12th pick in the draft.

For those who aren't happy with that number, take hope. The Chiefs were projected to have the 15th pick, according to ESPN Analytics, before last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. So there's plenty of time for them to continue to slide.

The Chiefs have a 2.2 percent chance to get the No. 1 overall pick, a 17 percent chance to pick in the top five and a 43 percent chance of selecting in the top 10.

As of now, the Chiefs would pick somewhere in the top seven. They are one of six teams with a 1-4 record. The only team that's worse is the 0-5 Detroit Lions.

The Lions would have the No. 1 overall pick as of now. But the Chiefs play against the Lions on Nov. 1 in London, so a (well-timed?) loss for the Chiefs that day can do wonders for their draft status.

ESPN Analytics, by the way, gives the Chiefs a 41 percent chance of winning Sunday's game against the Vikings in Minneapolis.

Yep. Win last 5, great momentum heading into 2016 offseason. Just an OT away from competing.

Not really. Fisher, Albert, and Tait are the only "recent" ones and Tait was a while ago. DL with Poe, Jackson, Dorsey, and Sims have actually been picked more recently but everyone rants about OL.

Because Reid could not wait to have Smith on the chiefs in a weak draft.

another Sports site saying we can get that 1st pick

Another top overall draft pick could land in Kansas City if their slide continues.
If the season ended today, they would pick seventh. But the team which would hold the top choice -- Detroit -- is only one loss worse than the Chiefs.
The Chiefs and Lions will battle in three weeks' time in London. The loser of that game might have the inside track on picking first in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Other teams currently slated to pick ahead of K.C. include the Saints (2), Texans (3), Jaguars (4), Ravens (5), and 49ers (6).
Should the Chiefs top those teams and claim the No. 1 spot, it'd be the second time they've picked there in four drafts.

Get on the Train every one 1st pick

Three times.
