The Chiefs are taking care of business before the weekend, and now have their entire draft class signed.

The team announced they had signed first-rounder Marcus Peters, second-rounder Chris Conley and third-rounder Steven Nelson, clearing up their nine-man draft class.

Peters was one of the top corners in the draft, and his combination of size and speed made teams willing to overlook his problems at the University of Washington, where he had problems with coaches.

They also waived tight end Brandon Barden and nose tackle Hebron Fangupo, and signed rookie free agent defensive tackle Charles Tuaau.
