[Kansas City.com] The Chiefs arrived at their summer home Wednesday in a familiar position: They were missing their No. 1 draft pick.

Linebacker Derrick Johnson was unsigned and, barring a last-minute agreement, will not be on the field when the Chiefs begin training camp this afternoon. Also unsigned were two other rookies, fourth-round wide receiver Craphonso Thorpe and sixth-round defensive end Khari Long.

That Johnson was a no-show wasn’t surprising. His agent, Vann McElroy, indicated earlier in the week that negotiations were progressing slowly.

Four of the Chiefs’ last six first-round draft picks were unsigned for the start of camp.

“I’ll worry about it a little bit more down the road if he doesn’t get here,” Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said.

Reached at his office, McElroy had little to say about his talks with the Chiefs.

“Nothing’s going on,” he said.
