The Chiefs select DB Javier Arenas from Alabama.

This dude might lack size, but is instinctive and blitzes off the edge really well. Ran a 4.6 at combine, which is disappointing. Averaged 29 yards per kick return. Tough, durable player who will add quality depth to Todd Haley’s secondary.

With the 36th overall pick, the Kansas City Chiefs take RB/KR Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss.

McCluster’s the typical scat back; electrifying speed, can make plays at any given time, and is able to line up in the slot. Versatility is his middle name.

With Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones already on board, McCluster will likely be relegated to third-down duties and special teams in his rookie year.

With the fifth pick in the draft, the Chiefs select Strong Safety, Eric Berry, out of Tennessee. As Boomer just said, he might be the most NFL ready player in the draft.

Gotta love Berry talking on the phone, “I’m going to the Chiefs, baby!”

For the last several years the Chiefs and Raiders have been climbing over each other trying to escape the AFC West basement. The Cheifs lost that battle in 2009 by amassing only four wins. Berry instantly elevates their Defense.

After a couple of weeks of speculation on a deal that would send future hall of fame TE to Atlanta, the trade has finally been culminated.

According to Jay Glazer, per Sirius Radio, and ESPN’s Michael Smith, Tony Gonzalez has been traded to the Falcons for a 2010 2nd-round pick. This is a good trade for both sides. The Falcons get the young Matt Ryan a nice safety valve, and the Chiefs got the pick they wanted, albeit in next year’s draft.

Breaking news from Adam Schefter and NFLN. Pats QB Matt Cassel has been traded to the KC Chiefs, no word on the compensation, but word is Pats get their 2009 second rounder and a conditional pick next year for Vrabel and Cassel. Schefter also guesses Cassel’s deal will be in the 7 year, $72M range.

UPDATE: Nothing’s official yet. Schefter just said there is another team involved and that the trade may not go through. Both the Chiefs and a “mystery team” have the framework for deals in place. If the Chiefs can’t close the deal then Cassel could use ‘team X’ for more cash. Schefter also says it’s a “surprise team”. More on this as it leaks.

UPDATE #2: It’s done. Cassel & Vrabel to Chiefs for Chiefs 2nd round pick.

File this under the unusual news of the day.

According to several reports, Chiefs TE and future Hall of Famer, Tony Gonzalez, saved a man from choking by using the Heimlich Maneuver.

Gonzalez was reportedly out to eat with his wife, brother, and daughter, when Ken Hunter started choking on a piece of meat a few tables over. That’s when Gonzalez stepped in and saved the man’s life by executing the Heimlich. After the meat was dislodged from the man’s throat, Hunter went up to Gonzalez and thanked him. The irony here? Hunter’s a lifelong fan of the Chargers.

Tony Gonzalez, a modern day hero.
