Why
The Kansas City Chiefs' current priorities begin at offensive tackle (OT) and wide receiver (WR). Pass rusher (EDGE) and safety (S) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Brett Veach in Kansas City consistently targets early-round talent, particularly in Round 1, prioritizing versatile defensive linemen and, increasingly, offensive weapons. While college pedigree isn't a limiting factor—his picks span from powerhouses like Texas and Washington to smaller programs like Western Michigan—there's a clear inclination toward high-floor players who can contribute immediately. His Round 2 moves typically complement these initial selections, addressing depth or emerging needs.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Indiana
WRGives them true boundary size and vertical juice to stretch the field. Small target sample, but that catch radius pays off immediately.
Missouri
OTBrutal anchor to stabilize tackle and protect the pocket; he'll struggle against pure speed early, but the floor is sky-high.
Utah
SPure single-high range to lock down Spagnuolo's deep middle. Tons of ball instincts, but you'll have to protect him against the run.
Second round
3 names
Alabama
WRBrings vertical juice back to Reid's offense. Needs strength against physical press, but that instant acceleration terrifies secondaries.
Texas
OTClean pass pro to protect Mahomes off the edge; if he develops an anchor against power rushers, that's a decade-long starter.
Iowa
SIdeal hybrid for KC's slot and three-safety packages. Starter-level anticipation day one, though his deep-third range is definitely capped.
Third round
3 names
Vanderbilt
WRBlows the top off coverages from the slot for Mahomes. Struggles badly against physical press, but the deep separation is real.
South Carolina
OTSolves their swing OT dilemma with snaps on both edges. Starter traits once he lowers his pad level.
Ohio State
SInstant reliability for Spagnuolo’s disguise packages. Nonexistent ball production, but his tactical floor makes him a Week 1 starter.
