As the Kansas City Chiefs’ season marches on, so does the college football season. With conference play underway, the picture is getting clearer and clearer on draft prospects and who they are as players.
The Chiefs are currently slated to have the 10th overall pick in the draft. We’re going to take a guess that the Chiefs will be picking a little bit later than that based upon the larger body of work from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
For this exercise, we’ll be projecting the Chiefs to be picking around pick 28 or later.

With George Karlaftis locked up to a long-term extension, the Chiefs will need to continue to find more pass-rush juice on the edge, especially with Chris Jones getting closer to his decline with each passing day.
