The 2020 NFL Draft is just five days away, so this will mark our final mock draft roundup.
Draft analysts across the board are preparing to release the final iterations of their mock drafts. Unfortunately, we’re no closer to a consensus position and player for the Kansas City Chiefs than we have been all along.
There are plenty of familiar names heading to the team at pick No. 32 this week all of whom have been sent to the Chiefs in previous mock drafts. General manager Brett Veach did say in his pre-draft press conference that he thought people would be surprised by the players he expects to be available in the late first round. Is it possible that Kansas City takes a player that no one expects?
Here’s a look at some of the latest mock drafts out there and which players are heading to Kansas City in the first round:
| Player & Position | School | From |
| Trevon Diggs CB | Alabama | Luke Easterling – Draft Wire |
| Noah Igbinoghene CB | Auburn | |
| A.J. Epenesa DE | Iowa | Henry McKenna – For The Win |
| D’Andre Swift RB | Georgia | Chris Trapasso – CBS Sports |
| J.K. Dobbins RB | Ohio State | Bucky Brooks – NFL.com |
| Cesar Ruiz C | Michigan | Peter Schrager – NFL.com |
| Kenneth Murray LB | Oklahoma | Jenny Vrentas – Sports Illustrated |
| Grant Delpit S | LSU | Joel Klatt – Fox Sports |
| A.J. Terrell CB | Clemson | Consensus – nflmockdraftdatabase.com |
Running backs return
After two consecutive weeks with no running backs in the first round, the draftniks are back to their old tricks again. CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso sent D’Andre Swift to Kansas City specifically because of his ability as a receiver. NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks sent J.K. Dobbins to the Chiefs because he believes he’ll be a true RB1 in the NFL. I guess that implies that Damien Williams isn’t a true RB1? Nonetheless, these picks would be much to the dismay of the Chiefs Kingdom.
Is cornerback on the table still?
Brett Veach had some interesting comments during his pre-draft press conference about two cornerbacks who aren’t considered starters. Alex Brown and Antonio Hamilton are players that he expects contributions from in 2020. He even said that he’d hoped to sign Hamilton for longer, but he wanted to bet on himself with a one-year deal. Yes, the Chiefs could look to the future and add a cornerback early, but will the value be there? Players like Trevon Diggs and Noah Igbinoghene are beginning to feel like a reach. At pick No. 32, I’m a little more optimistic about the talent that might be available to the team.
