The Kansas City Chiefs don’t have a ton of holes to fill with the National Football League Draft kicking off on Thursday.
That’s typically the case when you make it to the Super Bowl in three straight seasons. There are some things the Chiefs could improve for sure, but the team is still great on paper as it is constructed. If the Chiefs could add some more depth for the offensive line, they would be cooking and be just fine once again in 2025.
The Chiefs have the No. 31 pick in the draft on Thursday and likely could get a good lineman there but it also wouldn’t hurt to see if they could move up. Because of this, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox suggested a mock trade with the Minnesota Vikings.
“Chiefs Get: 2025 1st-round pick (No. 24),” Knox said. “Vikings Get: 2025 1st-round pick (No. 31), 2025 3rd-round pick (No. 95), 2026 4th-round pick. The Kansas City Chiefs failed to three-peat this past season, but they should remain among the top Super Bowl contenders in 2025. Kansas City doesn’t have many holes on its roster, and it should be aggressive about addressing its needs. A trade up from No. 31 would not only make sense, but it’s also widely expected…
“While LSU’s Will Campbell is likely to be gone long before the second half of Round 1, Kansas City might be able to land Ohio State’s Josh Simmons—if it can get ahead of the Texans, who have their own offensive line needs. Fortunately, the Chiefs might find the perfect trade partner in Minnesota. The Vikings enter draft weekend with only four selections and should be interested in acquiring more draft capital. Minnesota’s draft slot also resides ahead of teams that could be in the tackle market like Houston and Baltimore. The B/R Scouting Department recently mocked Simmons to the Ravens at No. 27.”
If the Chiefs could make a move like this and bolster the line, there’s no doubt they would once again be one of, if not the best team in the AFC once again next year.
