The pre-draft season is a frenzy for all parties involved—including interested fans watching from the outside. Keeping track of the Kansas City Chiefs' moves and continued roster needs is important while also taking stock of the latest workout results and rumors involving prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft.
As the Chiefs continue to research a new draft class, general manager Brett Veach and his staff will be looking for future Chiefs via medical checks, player interviews, and athletic testing. The Shrine Bowl, the Senior Bowl, the Scouting Combine, pro days, Zoom conversations, and formal visits to Arrowhead are all a part of the evaluative process.
