KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe, filling one of their biggest needs with one of the biggest gambles in the NFL draft. The Chiefs went with the 6-foot-4, 346-pound tackle with the No. 11 pick Thursday night after his impressive performance at the scouting combine. The massive Poe pushed 44 reps with 225 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.98 seconds. General manager Scott Pioli has established a reputation for being risk-averse with his draft philosophy. But in choosing Poe, Pioli gambled on the raw athletic ability of a player who managed only 33 tackles, eight tackles for loss and one sack in Conference USA last season. He’s expected to slide into the Chiefs’ 3-4 defense immediately.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have selected Iowa offensive tackle Riley Reiff with the No. 23 pick overall in the NFL draft. Lions general manager Martin Mayhew vowed the team would stick to its philosophy of taking the top player available on its draft board Thursday night unless he was a quarterback. Mayhew insisted he wouldn’t put a need, such as cornerback, ahead of a better player at a position of strength on the roster. With the top corners off the board, the Lions added depth on their aging offensive line. Detroit had its lowest first-round pick since 1992 when it drafted Robert Porcher 26th overall. The franchise ended its 11-year playoff drought last season with its first 10-win season since 1995.

DES MOINES, (AP) — Iowa native and former Missouri star Amanda Dunne crossed first in the 5,000 meters at the Drake Relays Thursday night, blowing away the field by nearly 11 seconds. The official victory went to Oklahoma’s Jessica Engel because the race was in the university/college division. But Dunne finished in 16:04.53 in the first 5,000 of her comeback. Dunne first won at the Drake Relays while at Pleasant Valley High 12 years ago. She has returned to track this season after a four-year absence. The Iowa women’s 6,400-meter relay team won the instate meet for the first time in school history, snapping Minnesota’s three-year winning streak. Obsie Birru of Grand View, a small school in Des Moines, won the women’s 10,000 by 15 seconds. Illinois senior Colin Mickow won the men’s 10,000 for the second time in three years. Anthony Rotich of Texas-El Paso won the men’s 5,000 in 13:57.09.
