The NFL is midway through its free agency period and the Kansas City Chiefs have not made any significant offensive acquisitions to separate them from last year's mediocrity. There is hope in the organization that the injuries that hampered them in 2024 (Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice) are what prevented Andy Reid's offense from scoring more than 23 points per game.
Brett Veach is not going to shy away from investing heavily on the offensive side of the ball in the upcoming NFL Draft.
This seven-round mock will explore one of the many potential outcomes and provide some names to watch as the clock ticks down toward the start of the 2025 NFL Draft. Be sure to bookmark our Chiefs' specific big board, as it contains all of our player breakdowns for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Kansas City Chiefs all-offense 7-round NFL Mock Draft
Round 1 | Pick 31: Quinshon Judkins (RB Ohio State)
Do NOT be alarmed — this is not the same mistake Brett Veach made in 2020 by selecting running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with the 32nd overall pick. As a 19-year-old true freshman at Ole Miss, Judkins led the SEC with 1,567 rushing yards (averaging 120 yards per game) and totaled 17 touchdowns, along with 132 receiving yards. He followed that breakout campaign in 2023 with another strong performance, rushing for 1,158 yards, leading the SEC with 15 rushing touchdowns.
Even while sharing carries in a two-back system — he produced yet another 1,000-yard rushing season, adding 14 rushing touchdowns and over 150 receiving yards to his season totals.
Judkins offers a great combination of vision, patience, and explosive burst into a dangerous skill set. Where Judkins stands out compared to backs like Kareem Hunt is home-run potential and the ability to score from anywhere on the field, at any moment, something Hunt has struggled to recapture since he departed from the Cleveland Browns.
The Chiefs offense has lacked explosiveness for the past couple of years. Adding a big play threat like Judkins would ultimately get the closer to the good old days, where dropping 30 points a game was near a guarantee.
Round 2 | Pick 62: Cameron Williams (OT Texas)
It would be understandable if the average Chiefs fan felt uneasy at the thought of Veach investing yet another top-100 pick on a high-upside tackle prospect after missing on the last two. Still, positional need doesn’t vanish simply because previous attempts have fallen short. Luckily, Williams may represent the long-term solution to this lingering issue.
At 6-6 and 317 pounds with 34.5-inch arms, Williams checks every physical box required of an elite NFL tackle. Success at the next level requires more than just measurables, fortunately for Williams, he has shown the foundational technique and athleticism to suggest his game can be developed further.
While his hand placement can be inconsistent, his sheer power is undeniable — when he lands his massive hands on defenders, he often neutralizes and redirects them with ease. His footwork, though not always fluid, demonstrates enough quickness to hold up in pass protection.
Williams has all the tools to become a top-level tackle at the next level, and is an even better prospect than new starting guard Kingsley Suamataia, but he definitely needs time to develop. With the newly acquired Jaylon Moore, Williams is the perfect prospect to learn and develop to eventually become the Chiefs starting left tackle.
Round 3 | Pick 66: Savion Williams (WR TCU)
Wide receiver is a position the Chiefs simply cannot afford to overlook this offseason (especially in the draft). While the top of the depth chart is solid with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Hollywood Brown, there’s still a noticeable lack of long-term stability.
Adding to the concern, the roster currently lacks a true X receiver — a physical presence capable of winning on the outside. A move is clearly needed, and what would be more impactful than selecting a hyper-athletic, X receiver in the upcoming draft? Enter Williams.
Easily the most exciting prospect in this mock draft, Williams brings unmatched explosiveness and may be the most dynamic athlete in the entire 2025 NFL Draft class. At 6-5 and 222 pounds while running a 4.49 in the 40-yard dash, his profile might suggest that he can only play a traditional X receiver role on the outside. But his tape tells a far more versatile story.
Williams’ burst and yards-after-catch ability simply can't be quantified by combine numbers. His vision with the ball in his hands is instinctive and unteachable. He took snaps as a Wildcat quarterback, lined up in the backfield on early downs, and flexed out wide on obvious passing situations. And despite all of that, his contested catch ability remains elite, boasting an astounding 89.9% contested catch rate.
Getting a player as versatile as Williams with a third-round pick is exactly what Veach needs to accomplish to get the offense back on track.
Round 3 | Pick 95: Charles Grant (OT William & Mary)
One of the more intriguing prospects in this year’s draft class, Grant has the potential to be one of the true steals of the 2025 NFL Draft. Another “traitsy” offensive tackle with the athletic profile to develop into a high-impact player at the next level, Grant's lower-body movement is remarkably refined and as fluid and polished as nearly any tackle in this class.
Still, Grant is likely to slip down draft boards for two key reasons. He’s faced limited competition at the FCS level, and his hand placement in traditional pass protection sets can be inconsistent, often late, and occasionally ineffective. Despite those concerns, the upside is clear, and with proper development, Grant could greatly outperform his draft position.
Round 4 | 133: Mitchell Evans (TE Notre Dame)
Tight end is yet another position group where the Chiefs are facing uncertainty. The current core features an aging Travis Kelce who's likely entering the final year of his career, a dependable but unproven Noah Gray who has yet to take on true TE1 responsibilities, and a question mark in Jared Wiley who's injury history has hampered his opportunities. In short, inconsistency and unreliability remain common themes.
Fortunately, the 2025 draft class is rich with dependable, well-rounded tight ends, particularly those who can contribute immediately as consistent blockers and reliable pass-catchers.
When it comes to reliability, few prospects embody the trait quite like Mitchell Evans. While he may never ascend to NFL stardom, he projects as a dependable pass-catcher and an outstanding run-blocker, a combination that’s increasingly valuable in today’s league. Evans' catching technique is consistently sound and repeatable, his footwork is surprisingly quick for his size, and his commitment to blocking is matched only by his refined technique.
Critics of his long-term potential often point to his modest production, just 418 receiving yards across 16 games in the 2025 season, and those concerns are understandable. Evans still offers the kind of foundational skill set that can quietly develop into a hidden gem, or even a future starter, with the right coaching and scheme fit. Both of these can be provided by the tutelage of Kelce and the knowledge of tight ends coach Tom Melvin.
Round 7 | Pick 226: Raheim Sanders (RB South Carolina)
Once again, adding depth and creating a competitive running back room will be essential to revamping the Chiefs' offense. Raheim Sanders does that and then some. Combine his 217-pound frame with a 4.47 40-time and 1.56 10-yard split (both in the 84th percentile), and Sanders joins rarefied air as an athlete.
While Sanders’ physical profile highlights his athleticism, it doesn’t fully capture his nuance as a runner. His ability to quickly diagnose developing run plays and decisively plant his foot to get upfield is on par with many NFL starters. He also has impressive contact balance, with 675 of his 881 rushing yards coming after contact. However, with all of these positives, his vision can be inconsistent. While he occasionally flashes elite instincts, he’s also prone to overanalyzing cutback lanes, missing more straightforward running opportunities.
The eventual one-two punch of Judkins and Sanders, following Pacheco’s likely departure, would provide long-term stability at a position that has often lacked continuity.
Round 7 | Pick 251: Gus Hartwig (OG Purdue)
Adding more offensive line depth is never a bad idea, especially with the uncertainty around the left side of the offensive line going into the 2025 season. If Suamataia doesn't do as well as the Chiefs would like for him to, Hartwig has the experience to step in an take the reigns.
Originally projected as a center, Hartwig’s frame and athleticism allow him to play anywhere along the interior offensive line. Overall, his pass sets are clean, his hand placement is consistently sharp, and he effectively bats down the arms of smaller defensive tackles. However, his biggest area for growth lies in the run game. While he flashes physicality at times, a lack of consistent play strength and finishing intensity can make him a liability in that phase.
While he might not be a dominant presence willing to bulldoze everything in his path, there is serious upside to Gus Hartwig, and at the price of a 7th-round pick, it's far to enticing to pass up.
Round 7 | Pick 257: Theo Wease Jr. (WR Missouri)
Our last draft pick is none other than Theo Wease Jr. from Columbia's own Missouri Tigers. While he doesn't have all of the athleticism necessary to become a legitimate threat at the next level, his experience and professionalism would round out an otherwise one-dimensional wide receiver room.
Wease was largely underutilized in Missouri’s offense this past season, finishing with 884 receiving yards while often taking a back seat to the more dynamic Luther Burden. Wease isn't an elite athlete, but he is a reliable target with strong hands and a consistent ability to beat press-man coverage. While this archetype hasn’t always been utilized in Andy Reid’s offense, it has proven valuable when the situation calls for it.
Wease would add depth, experience, and (most importantly) would allow players like Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, and Hollywood Brown to play where they are most effective.
