Chiefs Mock Draft

 



Chiefs Mock Draft Breakdown: Addressing Needs with Smart Picks

I came across a Chat Sports mock draft that absolutely nailed Kansas City’s biggest needs—let’s break down these selections and why they make sense for the reigning AFC champs.

Round 1, Pick 31: OL Graham "Grey" Zabel (North Dakota State)

  • Why It Works: Zabel brings positional versatility—a must for Andy Reid’s system. He’s likely a guard early but has the frame (6’6", 315 lbs) to develop into a tackle.

  • Chiefs Fit: With Joe Thuney’s recent departure and no long-term answer at RT, Zabel provides stability. His small-school pedigree mirrors past KC successes.

Round 2, Pick 63: WR Jaylin Noel (Iowa State)

  • Why It Works: Noel is a slot specialist with elite separation skills (81.3% catch rate in 2023). After losing JuJu, KC needs a reliable underneath target for Mahomes.

  • Chiefs Fit: Imagine him in the Kadarius Toney role—but with actual hands. His 4.45 speed and YAC ability scream "Reid prototype."

Round 3, Pick 66: DT Joshua Farmer (Florida State)

  • Why It Works: Farmer is a disruptive interior rusher (6 TFLs, 5 sacks in 2023). With Chris Jones aging and Derrick Nnadi hitting free agency, this is a need.

  • Chiefs Fit: Spags loves rotating D-linemen. Farmer’s explosiveness (28 QB pressures last year) would thrive next to Karlaftis.

Round 3, Pick 95: RB Devin Neal (Kansas)

  • Why It Works: Neal is a home-run hitter (5.6 YPC, 16 TDs in 2023). Pacheco needs a change-of-pace back, and Neal’s receiving chops (22 catches) fit the modern NFL.

  • Chiefs Fit: Local kid (Lawrence, KS) with breakaway speed. Perfect for Reid’s screen game.

Final Thoughts

This mock checks every box: O-line depth, WR help, DL youth, and RB explosiveness. If Brett Veach pulls this off, Chiefs fans should be thrilled.

Grade: B+ (Would’ve loved a CB in earlier rounds but you can’t get everything.

Chiefs Offseason

  Blog Post #2:  Post a photo with a caption The Chiefs new LT Jaylon Moore who signed on Mar 10th on a two year 30m dollar deal The chiefs hope this solves there LT problem that really seemed to plague them last season Chiefs’ Low-Risk, High-Reward Signing: OT Jaylon Moore This is exactly the kind of move I wanted. With so much pressure to "fix" the LT this offseason, I was nervous the Chiefs would overspend on a big-name tackle. Instead, they made a savvy, under-the-radar signing:  former 49ers OT Jaylon Moore . Why This Makes Sense for KC ✔  Affordable Depth ✔  Trent Williams’ Shadow ✔  Scheme Familiarity My Take Moore isn’t a flashy signing, but he’s a  smart one . He’ll likely be predicted to start against previous tackle Wanya Morris.  Grade: B+  Not a game-changer, but exactly what a cap-strapped contender needs.
