It’s that time again. Each week, we are going to go around and look at some of the experts’ mock drafts and see who they have for the Kansas City Chiefs. With Kansas City picking all the way back at 28th-overall, there are sure to be plenty of opinions.
Of course, it is tough to say right now where the Chiefs will be looking. Kansas City needs to go through free agency before it really knows which positions are going to need addressing. As things stand right now, our best guesses might include cornerback, right tackle and wide receiver.
So let’s look at who some of the experts are calling for, and then double back to give our opinion.
Bleacher Report – Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor
NFL.com – Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida
"Jonathan Bullard gives the Chiefs a versatile performer on the defensive line, as he’s able to hold his own between the A-gaps but also step outside to challenge tackles with a quick first step."
USA Today – Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State
"The Chiefs have to get better up front, and it starts with fortifying the interior offensive line. Ben Grubbs is aging and Jeff Allen is a free agent, while Whitehair offers the technical prowess and NFL-ready skill set to start right away for Kansas City. The hometown kid also has the versatility to play perhaps any offensive line spot, and could kick out to tackle in a pinch if Andy Reid needed him to."
CBS Sports – Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State
"Eric Fisher has yet to live up to expectations after being selected No. 1 overall two years ago and depth remains an issue all over Kansas City’s offensive line. Head coach Andy Reid, a former offensive line coach, himself, could be intrigued by Conklin, a former walk-on at Michigan State with the power and tenacity to fill in wherever needed."
Personally, I would be happiest with Conklin or Coleman. It’s hard to think that Dorsey is going to spend a first-round pick on a receiver unless he’s in love, considering the Chiefs just tied up $55 million in Jeremy Maclin. Whoever is going to be added on the outside is clearly the second or even third option behind Travis Kelce.
