Scenario 2: Take the receiver you like
How it could turn out
First round, No. 9: Ohio State WR Carnell Tate
First round, No. 29: Clemson EDGE T.J. Parker
It doesn’t take long when cycling through potential mock drafts to get one in which the Chiefs would have all of this year’s receiver prospects available.
No one really knows what’s going to happen on draft night, and the Chiefs having the chance to take any wideout they want in a draft seems like something that might not happen again in the Mahomes era.
So here we’ll go with the top consensus guy in Ohio State’s Carnell Tate. The Chiefs have never been afraid to trust in their own scouting evaluations, though, so USC’s Makai Lemon or Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson certainly could be in play as well.
Take Tate first, and the Chiefs could circle to defense with their next pick. In this mock, Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker is available and would add a good-sized, high-motor edge rusher to the rotation.
