2024 NFL mock draft with all trades: Deals for 32 first-round picks | ESPN

32. Kansas City Chiefs

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:...

The Chiefs get a first-round wideout and tackle in two new CBS mock drafts

The Chiefs get a first-round wideout and tackle in two new CBS mock drafts

In separate mock drafts, two CBS writers pick a wide receiver and an offensive tackle for Kansas City at 32.

On Wednesday, CBS Sports writers Will Brinson and Chris Trapasso each published a first-round mock draft. In his third mock of the offseason, Brinson projected a wide receiver to the Kansas City Chiefs with the final pick of the first round.

32. Kansas City Chiefs : WR Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky

The Chiefs wrap up the first round by grabbing a wide receiver, which Chiefs fans might call lazy, but let’s be honest, it makes way way...

Draft Darlings: Dillon Johnson could make Chiefs run game more efficient

Draft Darlings: Dillon Johnson could make Chiefs run game more efficient

Johnson would provide Andy Reid with a strong option in short-yardage situations.

The Kansas City Chiefs have starter Isiah Pacheco and backup Clyde Edwards-Helaire under contract and set for the 2024 NFL season. But they could use some depth competition to the likes of La’Mical Perine and Deneric Prince.

Let’s introduce Washington running back Dillon Johnson. Here’s what we know:

Background

Coming out of high school, Johnson was a three-star recruit from Mississippi. Johnson didn’t have a ton of offers, mainly just carrying in-state interest from Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Johnson chose Mississippi State, where he would [play...

Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes trust Brett Veach and staff to execute the draft

Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes trust Brett Veach and staff to execute the draft

During the draft process, Kansas City’s general manager is in control — and for good reason.

There are a lot of significant voices in the halls and meeting rooms of the Kansas City Chiefs’ team facility at One Arrowhead Drive. On a given weekend during the season, the opinions of head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes (or any of the team’s other great players and coaches) can lead to a victory.

But during the offseason, general manager Brett Veach runs the show — and you won’t hear anyone say otherwise.

Veach and his staff do their most impactful work...

On the draft board: Missouri offensive tackle Javon Foster plays with attitude

On the draft board: Missouri offensive tackle Javon Foster plays with attitude

The Mizzou standout had a pre-draft meeting with Kansas City.

The 2024 NFL Draft begins on Thursday of next week — and the Kansas City Chiefs have been busy meeting with draft prospects. One of them was Missouri left tackle Javon Foster, with whom the team met last week.

The big man plays an aggressive brand of football — and also possesses some of the best instincts of any player in the draft.

Foster projects to be a Day 3 pick, but he could be just what the Chiefs are hoping to find.

Background

A three-star recruit from West...

Rashee Rice appears to be back to work with Patrick Mahomes in Texas

Rice posted videos of workouts to his official Instagram account.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to media members earlier this week as the team begins Phase One of its offseason program.

For the past few seasons, the Chiefs have stuck to a routine in Phase One: three times a week, quarterback Patrick Mahomes organizes on-field practices in his home state of Texas. Those practices take place sometime in the morning before the pass-catchers meet with Kansas City coaches via Zoom (more on those workouts here).

Reid confirmed that wide receiver Rashee Rice — [who is in the...

Hypothetical blockbuster trade would give Chiefs ninth pick of the 2024 draft

Hypothetical blockbuster trade would give Chiefs ninth pick of the 2024 draft

Might Kansas City consider a trade to get into the top 10 of the upcoming draft?

Any time the NFL Draft is looming, there are always suggestions for teams to make blockbuster draft-day trades. On Wednesday afternoon, NFL.com contributors Ali Bhanpuri, Gennaro Filice and Tom Blair each concocted a scenario in which an NFL team traded into the top 10 of the 2024 draft to grab a big-name player. All of these were described as “win-win” deals.

Blair’s idea was for the Kansas City Chiefs to land the draft’s ninth overall pick from the Chicago Bears, so they could use...

Finding the Chiefs’ best cornerback value in the 2024 draft class

Finding the Chiefs’ best cornerback value in the 2024 draft class

Kansas City lost one of its best defensive players in a trade — but it still might be wise to avoid taking a CB in Round 1.

Earlier this offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs traded their star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans for a 2025 third-round pick and a swap of 2024 seventh-round selections.

Considering Sneed’s value to the team, many mock drafts will have the Chiefs drafting a first-round cornerback — and that would make sense. Sneed and Trent McDuffie served as multipositional lockdown players, giving Kansas City good matchups with any passing offense. I would even...

Chiefs aren’t giving up on Kadarius Toney in 2024

Chiefs aren’t giving up on Kadarius Toney in 2024

Andy Reid recently called Toney “arguably one of the most talented guys we have on the team.”

When the NFL Draft concludes next Saturday, we will have a clear picture of what the Kansas City Chiefs’ 90-man roster will look like heading into training camp, the preseason and (eventually) the campaign to three-peat as Super Bowl champions.

With that clarity will come the beginning of 53-man projections — and I suspect that in that exercise, many will assume Kadarius Toney would be the odd man out of the wide receiver room. After playing a vital role in the Super Bowl...
