It hasn't taken long for Alex Smith to become the leader of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Kansas City Chiefs began to realize about two weeks ago that Central Michigan's Eric Fisher would be their choice with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft.
The Kansas City Chiefs took offensive tackle Eric Fisher of Central Michigan to begin the NFL draft Thursday night, then Jacksonville went for Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel.
This year's NFL draft is heavy on size and light on glamour.
Playing on the offensive line is about as unglamorous as it gets in professional football.
The running joke around Kansas City at the end of last season went something like this: "The Chiefs are so bad" _ pause for effect _ "they can't even stink in the right year."

The wholesale overhaul of the Kansas City Chiefs is nearly complete.
The first call that Andy Reid received came from Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt.
Andy Reid didn't have to wait long to find a fresh start.
Andy Reid arrived in Kansas City on Friday, and the Chiefs are close to making an official announcement that he will become their next coach.
Andy Reid pulled up to Arrowhead Stadium in a black SUV on Friday, stepped out of it wearing a dark suit and red tie, and walked briskly toward the doors of the Kansas City Chiefs' home.

Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs should be quite familiar by now.
"We felt everything about Eric represented what the Kansas City Chiefs are all about, as a person and also his ability to play the game," Dorsey said. "That's why it's exciting."
Dorsey also indicated that he would listen to offers from teams trying to trade up until the last possible minute.
