Following the worst season the Chiefs have had since 2012, Kansas City is picking in the top 10 for the first time since they traded up to select Patrick Mahomes in 2017. This season, the Chiefs snapped a 10-year streak of making the NFL playoffs, and they have had an active offseason as they look to return in 2026.

There has been a wide range of discussions, with as many as 12 different players having been mocked to the Chiefs at various points in the season.
