The Chiefs have a history of drafting stalwart centers in the second round. Grunhard was the first in a succession of Chiefs players who anchored the offensive line from the center position. The Chiefs drafted Rodney Hudson in the second round (55th overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft. To replace Hudson the Chiefs selected Mitch Morse in the second round (49th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Missouri product started 49 games for Kansas City before concussions and a foot injury took their toll.
