Chiefs Prioritize Premium Positions for 2025 Draft

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has identified offensive line, defensive line, cornerback, and wide receiver as the team's top priorities for the 2025 NFL Draft, emphasizing a 'best-player-available' approach to maximize value. The Chiefs possess eight picks, including four in the top 95, offering flexibility to address multiple roster needs, especially due to recent injuries and uncertainty at wide receiver, as well as ongoing backfield issues. Veach has indicated the team is unlikely to trade up this year, citing only 12-13 first-round grades and a desire to accumulate more picks. Running back remains a targeted area, with visits from prospects like ShunDerrick Powell considered for late-round selections. The Chiefs are also open to trading down to gain additional picks, reinforcing their strategy to bolster the roster for another Super Bowl run.
