The Kansas City Chiefs may have lost to the Philadelphia Eagles by a 40-22 scoreline in Super Bowl 59, but that doesn't fully illustrate the depths of what became a thorough beatdown. Kansas City, who was denied the chance to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, trailed 34-0 at one point in the game.
Unlike past years, Kansas City is heading into the offseason with a great deal of uncertainty. Travis Kelce is getting older, the once-mighty offensive line is looking much less dominant than they have been in past seasons, and the lack of skill position talent outside of Xavier Worthy is alarming.
The Chiefs will be able to replenish their young talent, find value later in the draft, and build a team capable of winning the Super Bowl if they follow the plan in this 3-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Kansas City Chiefs post-Super Bowl 3-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 31: Armand Membou, OT/IOL, Missouri
As the Super Bowl proved, the Chiefs need some reinforcements on the offensive line. With Trey Smith scheduled to cash in as a free agent on the open market and Kingsley Suamataia putting together a nasty rookie season, the Chiefs would be better off drafting someone who can play both guard and tackle.
Many of Membou's flaws are technique-related at this point in time, but Reid and the Chiefs have historically been good developers of young offensive linemen (Suamataia notwithstanding). Membou's power, mobility, and versatility could put the local product atop the Chiefs' draft board.
Round 2, Pick 63: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
Travis Kelce may end up retiring in the very near future, and Noah Gray doesn't have one-half of the athletic ability Kelce had. In order to find a new No. 1 tight end, Kansas City could take a risk on a player like Arroyo. The Miami product posted speed numbers that are in line with what some wide receivers were tallying.
Arroyo is a poor blocker, but so was Kelce. His receiving talent is exceptional, as he became one of Cam Ward's most trusted security blankets. Kansas City will need to weigh his measurables against his lackluster college production, as he had 11 career catches prior to this season.
Round 3, Pick 66: Savion Williams, WR, TCU
Williams is a unique player, as he is a 6-5, 220-pound receiver with great speed that was used as a wildcat quarterback and scored six rushing touchdowns. However, he is a very raw ball of football clay, and it is imperative that he go to a creative offensive team that can get the most out of him.
Williams' odd usage at TCU, paired with some serious drop issues, will make it tough for some teams to draft him, but Kansas City would be better off rolling the dice on his traits and hoping he can develop a connection with Patrick Mahomes early on.
Round 3, Pick 95: Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
Half of the Chiefs fans sitting on their couch watching the Super Bowl might run faster in a straight line than Kareem Hunt at this point in his career. With Isiah Pacheco proving to be a service back, Kansas City would be wise to get a speedy player like Sampson who was born to play in an Andy Reid offense.
Sampson, who ran for 22 touchdowns in his final collegiate season with the Volunteers, makes up for poor blocking and a lack of size with great speed and some impressive vision between the tackles. Adjusting from Tennessee's unusual offense to a pro scheme will be a challenge for him.
