Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images A new mock draft from one of the top experts for the event believes that the Kansas City Chiefs will use their first of two picks in Round 1 of next month’s event on a controversial prospect in this year’s class. As we pass the midway point of March, we get even closer to the biggest event of April, the 2026 NFL Draft .
After a rare losing season in 2025, the Chiefs’ selections next month have taken on even greater importance. And after making a big trade this offseason that sent Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for a return that includes another first-round pick this year, Kansas City has the chance to get two top 30 prospects. But who will the Chiefs take with their valuable selection at No.
9? There has been a lot of speculation about who they will take, and it would make sense to go after the best cornerback available to replace the All-Pro they just traded. They have also been linked to Heisman Trophy finalist Jeremiyah Love .
A player that teams around the NFL are praying doesn’t fall to them. Could the Chiefs use pick at No. 9 on Rueben Bain Jr.?
