Track record read
Brett Veach in Kansas City consistently targets early-round talent, particularly in Round 1, prioritizing versatile defensive linemen and, increasingly, offensive weapons. While college pedigree isn't a limiting factor—his picks span from powerhouses like Texas and Washington to smaller programs like Western Michigan—there's a clear inclination toward high-floor players who can contribute immediately. His Round 2 moves typically complement these initial selections, addressing depth or emerging needs.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Austin Siereveld
Ohio State
OTInstantly anchors the RT spot. Ceiling's a decade-long pillar, but those hands need quick adjustment.
David Stone
Oklahoma
DLBallistic 3-tech, an explosive disruptor for the D-Line rotation. Anchor versus doubles is the only real question mark, but the upside is undeniable.
KJ Bolden
Georgia
SGives Spags the versatile safety he needs. Sky-high ceiling, but watch those aggressive tackling angles, he needs to refine them.
Second round
3 names
Sabastian Harsh
Wyoming
DLHigh-motor EDGE for DL rotation. Gives you that pop to set the edge, if he learns to turn the corner, he's an anchor.
Zach Lutmer
Iowa
SThe secondary's general the Chiefs need. His IQ and tackling bring an immediate starter floor, if he controls the aggression.
Zabien Brown
Alabama
CBInstant slot fix; his click-and-close and hands are elite. If his frame holds up, we've got a reliable starter here.
Third round
3 names
Jacob Strand
Oregon State
OTA tackle patch Chiefs need, his lateral mobility helps; but that anchor vs. bull-rush, it's a development gamble.
Ty Robinson
Nebraska
DLInterior anchor they've been looking for against the run. Limited ceiling, but high floor as an immediate rotation guy.
Isaiah Nwokobia
SMU
SBrings S versatility Spags can leverage. Brain compensates for physical limits, solid floor, but ceiling depends on his frame.
