A few weeks before the draft each year, I attempt to do one seven-round mock draft, covering all 255 picks.
It’s an exhaustive exercise because I’m not focusing just on team needs. I also pay close attention to fit (scheme and culture) and the breadcrumbs (draft trends, visits, workouts, etc.). However, it was tougher this year without the 30 visits and one-on-one workouts. We have knowledge of team meetings at the combine and FaceTime or Skype calls, but teams are allowed unlimited virtual meetings as long as they stay under an hour in length.
Like always, I included a team-by-team view of each organization’s draft class at the bottom so it is easier to see each team’s draft haul.
32. Kansas City Chiefs – Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah
After Okudah and Henderson, there are differing opinions about the order the next corners will come off the board. And Johnson is right there in the mix to be drafted in the first round.
63. Kansas City Chiefs (from SF) – Chase Claypool, WR/TE, Notre Dame
The Chiefs have plenty of bodies at the receiver position, but Claypool gives them a different type of pass catcher who can play inside or outside and provide immediate depth at the receiver and tight end positions.
96. Kansas City Chiefs – Damien Lewis, OG, LSU
138. Kansas City Chiefs – Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State
177. Kansas City Chiefs – Benito Jones, DT, Ole Miss
