0:00.0	The Chiefs have gone with another corner to start day three of the draft at Jaden Kennedy from Oregon.
0:06.4	From the land of the free and the home of the Chiefs, this is the Locked-on Chiefs podcast.
0:12.3	You are Locked-on Chiefs, your daily Kansas City Chiefs podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast network,
0:19.6	your team every day.
