7-round Chiefs mock draft fills long-term needs after early free agency
Let's look at our latest Chiefs mock draft to see how the roster rounds out after early moves in free agency.

Round 5, Pick 173: Tip Reiman, TE, Illinois
Posting the 10th-highest TE RAS score ever is a good way to boost your draft stock. Reiman is an excellent blocker who flashes athletic traits catching the ball. At 6-4, 270 lbs., Reiman just moves differently than players of his size. His size and power make him a nice YAC option as well. He's not a diverse route runner or a vertical threat, but he can threaten defenses in short yardage.
The Chiefs began refining their 13 personnel by signing Irv Smith Jr. this week. He feels like a potential Jody Fortson replacement. Tip Reiman is the Blake Bell replacement. He can live on the field as a blocker but provide a decent 250 yards receiving and a few touchdowns to help defenses respect him as a pass catcher.
