4 Players the Chiefs Must Target With the No. 32 Pick

The 2024 NFL Combine gets underway this week and the Chiefs will pay close attention to a variety of prospects as Brett Veach nears his decision for the No. 32 overall pick in a talent-rich draft class.

There are many directions Veach can go with this pick and positions like wide receiver, offensive tackle, and defensive line will all be under consideration. Our original mock draft had Kansas City selecting Texas interior defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat, though he’s just one of several enticing options.

With that in mind, here are four players the Chiefs must target with their first-round pick:

4 Players the Chiefs Must Target With First-Round NFL Draft Pick

1. Adonai Mitchell – WR, Texas

At 6’4″ with good speed and excellent hands, Mitchell represents the kind of deep threat the Chiefs offense lacked this season. He caught 55 passes for 845 yards and 11 TDs this year, averaging 15.4 yards per catch for one of the country’s best offenses.

With his stellar ability to track the ball and high-point catches, the Texas Longhorn would provide instant juice to the passing attack while stretching defenses for Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice to exploit underneath.

2. Troy Fautanu – OT, Washington

The Chiefs need to shore up the offensive line at some point, with Donovan Smith not under contract after playing left tackle and Joe Thuney nearing the end of his contract. 2023 third-round pick Wanya Morris could slot in to start in Smith’s place, though it’s possible Kansas City snags this versatile, promising prospect out of Washington.

3. Darius Robinson – EDGE, Missouri

The Missouri Tiger product is one of the biggest winners from the Senior Bowl among draft prospects. At 6’5″ and 291 LBs, Robinson dominated individual workouts and looks like a foundational player on the defensive line that could learn from Chris Jones, George Karlaftis and Charles Omenihu.

4. Keon Coleman – WR, Florida State

Coleman is among the best in this entire draft class at making contested catches, routinely making highlight-reel snags en route to 18 TDs over his final two seasons with the Seminoles.
