Kansas City Chiefs 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 32:Â Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
Wide receiver is a pretty common pick here, to no one’s surprise, but don’t be surprised if the Chiefs go corner Round 1 if they do deal L’Jarius Sneed. Kamari Lassiter has the press chops, man coverage ability, and competitiveness that Kansas City has coveted with its corners and would slide right in outside.
Round 2, Pick 64: Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
I debated about the style of wide receiver the Chiefs really needed. Rashee Rice gives them an inside/outside versatile WR who can create yards after the catch and win in contested situations. They certainly need to find a player who can stretch the field, but the board might not fall their way there.
Instead, I went a different way with Jalen McMillan here, who many will project to the slot. I think McMillan has the route-running ability and body control to consistently win at the intermediate levels of the field and give them a reliable chain mover Mahomes can target.
Round 3, Pick 95:Â Michael Hall Jr., DT, Ohio State
While it seems Chris Jones will stick around in Kansas City, they have plenty of other defensive linemen hitting free agency. Michael Hall Jr. has the quickness and pass-rush ability to win at the edge, but I was pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold his own in the run game.
He’ll need further refinement of his technique, but he can give Kansas City a nice interior rusher next to Jones.
Round 4, Pick 131:Â Anthony Gould, WR, Oregon State
It’d be hard to pass up on multiple receivers in this draft class, and Kansas City shouldn’t hesitate to do so. Anthony Gould is a dynamite speedster who can stretch the field with ease and holds his own at the catch point. He is also an outstanding returner, giving the Chiefs the speedster they have coveted over the years.
Round 5, Pick 158: Will Shipley, RB, Clemson
Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are pending free agents, leaving no depth behind Isiah Pacheco. Will Shipley can step right into their third-down back spot and prove his receiving chops as another weapon in the Chiefs’ offense.
Round 5, Pick 172: Tylan Grable, OT, UCF
Wanya Morris seems like the in-house replacement for Donovan Smith, but the Chiefs would be wise to continue adding depth and competition to their left tackle spot. A former QB turned TE turned OT, Tylan Grable has some impressive athleticism and is an intriguing developmental option.
Round 7, Pick 252:Â Evan Anderson, DT, FAU
The Chiefs take another defensive tackle here to help shore up their run defense in the event Derrick Nnadi walks in free agency. Evan Anderson boasts an impressive anchor and power to hold his own against double-teams and can collapse the pocket in 1-on-1s in the passing game.
