who did chiefs pick in the draft

The Kansas City Chiefs have not yet made their 2026 NFL Draft picks, as the draft typically occurs in late April. As of mid-February 2026, their draft positions are set based on their 6-11 finish in the 2025 season.

Current Pick Positions

These reflect the Chiefs' selections after the 2025 regular season and trades (no sixth-rounder due to the 2024 Josh Uche deal; seventh-round status pending NFL clarification).

Round| Overall Pick
---|---
1| No. 9 13
2| No. 40 13
3| No. 74 13
4| No. 109 3
5| No. 146 3
5 (Comp)| No. 176 3
7| TBD 1

This marks their highest first-rounder since Patrick Mahomes in 2017, sparking fan buzz about targeting a cornerback, running back, or offensive help amid free agency losses like Isiah Pacheco.

Trending Mock Draft Targets

Analysts highlight these prospects for the Chiefs' top needs (e.g., secondary depth, RB stability post-Pacheco), based on recent big boards—though trades could shift everything by draft night.

• Cornerbacks : Mansoor Delane (LSU, No. 3 CB), Jermod McCoy (Tennessee, No. 7), Avieon Terrell (Clemson, No. 20).

• Running Backs : Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame, No. 4), Jadarian Price (Notre Dame, No. 31), Emmett Johnson (Nebraska, No. 40).

Forums like Reddit are lit with speculation: some fans push for trading up from No. 9 for a game-changer, others want defensive rebuilds after a down year.

"Chiefs at No. 9? Huge chance to grab elite talent—last top-10 pick was Eric Fisher in 2013!"

Expect mocks to evolve with free agency in March; their 387-point first-round value could fuel deals.

TL;DR : No picks yet—Chiefs hold top-75 trio starting at No. 9; mocks eye CBs/RBs amid rebuild talk.
