Chiefs sign Ryan Succop and agree to terms with Colin Brown
The Chiefs have officially started signing their 2009 NFL draft picks and the last player taken overall is the first one.
Chiefs Sign Seventh-Round Pick K Ryan Succop
Succop (6-2, 218) joined the Chiefs as the third of the club’s three seventh-round selections (256th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. He played in 50 games at South Carolina, connecting on 49 of 69 field goals (71.0%) with a career-long of 55 yards. He also converted 104 PATs and racked up a total of 251 points, the second-highest total in school history. He added 69 touchbacks on 192 kickoffs. He served as the punter during his sophomore and junior seasons, punting 85 times for 3,597 yards (42.3 avg.) with 22 inside the 20 and three touchbacks.
Succop played in 13 games as a senior in 2008, earning honorable mention All-Southeastern Conference honors. He connected on 20 of 30 field goals (66.7%), leading the SEC in both made FGs and FG attempts. He converted all 30 of his PATs for 90 total points.
From what I have heard Succop has a really strong leg, as in he has 60 range, but the problem is it may not go 60 yards straight. So, the Chiefs have to decide if they want distance or accuracy because I highly doubt they will carry two kickers.
Also, Chiefs 5th round draft pick Colin Brown has reportedly agreed to terms with the Chiefs but no contract has been signed (that we know about). Via Scout.com
The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a contract agreement with fifth-round pick OT Colin Brown, Scout.com has confirmed. According to a league source, it’s a three-year deal worth nearly $1.34 million with a signing bonus of close to $154,000.
The former University of Missouri offensive lineman lined up at right tackle during the team’s OTA practices.
Possible replacement forDamion McIntosh? Only time will tell.
Well, there you have it Chiefs fans, any thoughts? Who do you think the next player to sign with the team will be?

I am still letting a lot of these sink in… and I will judge the picks more once they actually hit the field.
Keep in mind that Pioli has a pretty good draft history (particularly with defensive linemen in the first round) so don’t be too quick to judge.
The one word I think about when I see this draft is versatility.
What do you think Chiefs fans?
