Chiefs Mock Draft: KC fixes its offense with bold picks in Round 1

The Kansas City Chiefs will field a drastically different roster in 2026 than they did during the failed 2025 campaign that saw the team miss the playoffs for the first time in a decade. While Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has already made bold moves to address Kansas City's needs during free agency, the decisions he makes in the 2026 NFL Draft will ultimately prove to be the most consequential in determining his offseason performance. Take a look at this full seven-round Chiefs mock draft, which projects that Veach will go all-in on fixing Kansas City's offense before addressing his team's depleted secondary: Round 1, Pick No.

9: Notre Dame Fighting Irish RB Jeremiyah Love Veach should have no problem making this pick if Love is available at pick No. 9. Fans can decide if Love is a hedge against Kenneth Walker III's injury history — or if Veach's master plan always included designs for the Chiefs to have two elite running backs.

Either way, this pick would make Kansas City's offense a force to be reckoned with, on paper. Round 1, Pick No. 29: Washington Huskies WR Denzel Boston It should go without saying that Kansas City's approach to the No.

29 selection pick will be determined by Veach's first pick in Round 1. In this scenario, Veach takes Boston, who will compete for snaps against Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy as a rookie. Round 2, Pick No.
