The Kansas City Chiefs have traded first-round positions with Cleveland, swapping their 21st selection for the Browns' 27th.

The Chiefs also pick up a third-round pick, the 70th overall selection in the third draft Scott Pioli has conducted as general manager in Kansas City.

The Chiefs' franchise-record six-game improvement last year produced an AFC West title. It did not conceal the fact the team has a great many needs, including wide receiver, offensive line, linebacker and noseguard.
