The Kansas City Chiefs are hard at work on draft evaluations following the conclusion of college football all-star game season. They’ve still got several stops in the pre-draft circuit with the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine and player pro day workouts coming up.
With the conclusion of the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl, our friends at Draft Wire have released brand new three-round mock draft projections. This is the first mock draft they’ve released since the Chiefs’ playoff exit in the AFC title game, so we do get accurate draft picks now. However, don’t expect to see the team’s third-round compensatory pick from the Ryan Poles hiring listed until the NFL releases an official draft order.
In this mock draft, Kansas City opted for improvements on the defensive side of the ball. They started with a standout from the Senior Bowl in the trenches and worked their way out to improve the defensive secondary.
