Chiefs headlines for Friday, April 19
2024 NFL mock draft with all trades: Deals for 32 first-round picks | ESPN
Chiefs get: 1-24
Cowboys get: 1-32, 3-95, 5-159
The defending champs moved up from No. 29 to No. 22 two years ago, when they sent two picks to the Patriots and landed cornerback Trent McDuffie. The Chiefs were flush with selections then by virtue of the Tyreek Hill trade, which isn’t the case any longer. This would be a move up to address a critical position: left tackle, where Donovan Smith is a free agent and Wanya Morris didn’t impress as a rookie. Jumping the Packers and Ravens makes sense if there’s somebody Kansas City trusts to protect Patrick Mahomes’ blindside.
Chiefs get: 1-27, 6-186
Cardinals get: 1-32, 3-95
If the Chiefs want to add a wide receiver in Round 1, they might want to get ahead of their arch-rivals from Buffalo, who pick at No. 28 and have a wide-open depth chart after trading Stefon Diggs and losing Gabe Davis in free agency. Moving up five spots would be in Kansas City GM Brett Veach’s range, and while it would cost the Chiefs a third-round pick, beating the Bills to the punch for a wideout who separated from the pack on Kansas City’s board would both help the Chiefs and potentially harm one of their biggest rivals.
1. Patrick Mahomes
Draft: 2017 | Overall: 10th | Team: Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs traded up to select Mahomes, but it doesn’t really matter where the Texas Tech product was drafted; already one of the best quarterbacks to ever take the NFL stage, he would’ve been a “steal” even at No. 1 overall. In just six years as a full-time starter, he’s mastered both deep-ball acrobatics and crunch-time precision to deliver K.C. three Super Bowls, six AFC title-game appearances and a world of record-breaking production. The guy is the contemporary standard for NFL quarterbacking.
