The Chiefs like to draft a year in advance, many times, in preparation for incoming roster holes.
Here's what the team looks like right now under contract for 2025:
QB: Mahomes
RB: Pacheco
WR: Rice, Moore, Remigio
TE: Kelce
LT: Morris
LG: Thuney
C:
RG:
RT: Taylor
DE: Anudike-Uzomah, Thompson
DT:
DT: Farrell
DE: Karlaftis
WLB:
MLB:
SLB: Chenal
CB: McDuffie, Williams, Watson, Jones
S: Cook, Conner
K:
P:
LS:
Actually pretty good roster construction from Veach -- every position grouping still has really good talent on it. There's a few areas with troublesome areas, but other than DT, there's no position that's completely in the lurch -- and I imagine Jones is probably under contract for 2025 by this time next year.
