It should come as no surprise that mock drafts are pointing to the Chiefs' pass rush as a major need.
Mock drafts look a bit different these days for Kansas City Chiefs. With the team sitting at 5-4 overall and just outside of the current playoff picture—should the NFL season end today—various mocks have K.C. picking much earlier than what fans are used to.
At this point, Kansas City would have the No. 17 overall selection in the first round of the 2026 NFL DRaft, which would be both shocking and sad for Chiefs Kingdom after years and years of end-of-round picks.
