FINAL Kansas City Chiefs Mock Draft of 2024

The 2024 NFL Draft is just days away, which means there is time for just one more Chiefs mock draft. After winning their second Super Bowl in as many seasons, Kansas City is looking to become the first team in league history to hoist three consecutive Lombardi trophies. If they want to accomplish that goal, they’ll need to make the most of their seven picks.

Note that this exercise was performed using the Pro Football Focus Mock Draft Simulator. If the player was on the board when Kansas City was on the clock, they were fair game. Also note that this Chiefs mock draft does not include trades.

Final Kansas City Chiefs Seven-Round Mock Draft

First Round (32nd Overall) – Nate Wiggins, CB

Seeing as Rashee Rice is practicing with Patrick Mahomes again, it doesn’t appear as though the Chiefs will need to take a wide receiver with the first pick in this mock draft. While they could still go that route, Nate Wiggins is too good to pass up. With L’Jarius Sneed gone, Kansas City lands one of the best ballhawks in the class. Seeing as opposing offenses will need to throw to keep up with Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs could use a player with a natural nose for the ball.

Second Round (64th Overall) – Kiran Amegadjie, OT

Kiran Amegadjie is a boom or bust type prospect who will either be a 10-year fixture on Kansas City’s offensive line or gone after his rookie contract. The Yale product checks every box imaginable from a physical standpoint but needs to improve his overall mechanics. This type of high upside is good to ignore in this mock draft, although the Chiefs should still consider signing a veteran left tackle to compete as a short-term solution.

Third Round (95th Overall) – Jamari Thrash, WR

Jamari Thrash is not a fit for every offense, but he’s a natural choice for the Chiefs. The Louisville product excels at stretching the field, and while he isn’t the biggest player by any stretch of the imagination, he’s a logical pairing for an elite deep ball thrower in Patrick Mahomes.

Fourth Round (131st Overall) – Mekhi Wingo, EDGE

Mekhi Wingo lacks the size to develop into a true three-down starter, but the edge defender has what it takes to be a reliable rotational player. Late in the fourth round, that’s all you can hope for. In a perfect world, he can combine with Kansas City’s army of talented young pass rushers to make life difficult on opposing quarterbacks.

Fifth Round (159th Overall) – Jaheim Bell, TE

Jaheim Bell projects as a gadget player at the next level, and nobody is better at getting production out of athletic miscasts than Andy Reid. While skeptics will (justifiably) point to his inability to consistently make blocks and run a full route tree, Reid should be able to maximize his vertical abilities and skills after the catch.

Fifth Round (173rd Overall) – Jaden Shirden, RB

The Chiefs have a thunderous early-down running back in Isiah Pacheco, and they pair him with a good lightning in this mock draft. In what’s becoming something of a theme, Jaden Shirden is smaller than your typical running back, but that lack of size gives him above-average speed and quickness when running outside the tackles. He also has a reliable set of hands and should carve out a role in this offense.

Seventh Round (221st Overall) – Sataoa Laumea, OL

The Chiefs wrap up this mock draft with Sataoa Laumea, a versatile offensive lineman with amble experience at both guard and tackle. A classic jack of all trades and master of none, the Utah product should win a roster spot and provide valuable depth at multiple positions.
