Call Your Shot: Who will be the Chiefs first pick in the 2025 NFL draft?

[staylor26]

I'm going with Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio St.

I think the Chiefs would prefer a guy like Walter Nolen or Derrick Harmon falls into their lap, but I don't think that happens next Thursday night, or at least I'm not going to get me hopes up.

A lot of people will not like this pick, due to the injury risk, but the Chiefs take a swing at a T that otherwise would never be in that late 1st round range.

Side note: I could also see Josh Conerly being the pick and could've just as easily chose him. Upside isn't as high, but he's probably safer given his health.

The Chargers winning the division made me not listen to anything else Colin had to say

After trading back to early 2nd round the Chiefs select....



Tight End Colston Loveland, University of Michigan

You are obviously severely reeruned if you think pointing out Worthy was not a project and scored 2 TD's in his first NFL game is "shitting on Worthy".

This draft is deep at DL and RB. OL has been reshuffled already.

Veach always prioritizes weapons for Pat. Really hard to dismiss Luther Burden III at 31.

I know the Homer is sticking out here but he's a top 5 pick if the offense didn't morph into tattered ass in 2024. They will know how to use him.

Would be amazing, especially in the second round.....but there is no way he makes it past the Broncos at 20, much less the Chargers a couple of picks later.

I have steadfastly been for Burden or Egbuka, if either are even there at 31.

- Rice
- Worthy
- Hollywood
- Burden/Egbuka

Sign me the hell up.

As someone who is not a Mizzou fan and who lives outside SEC country, I must say that the obsession with Burden does strike me as homerism. I seriously doubt the Chiefs would take him.

Agreed!

I really want the Dolphins to take Josh Simmons with their first pick. Just to get him off the table and he his no longer a CHIEFS consideration.

Watch the 23 tape/highlights.

He’s a 4.4 guy with great hands, who snatches the ball outside his frame, has insane contact balance and power through contact, creating huge YAC, who can win across the middle, short, on gadgets, and who is strong/athletic/tracks the ball well downfield.

He was pretty universally viewed as a top 15 pick entering the year. Then his QB regressed and got hurt and missed him on a lot of shots that he didn’t miss last year, and the backup QB was absolutely atrocious.

I think if you’re familiar with both the Chiefs and Mizzou, you see the fit and matchup. He’s the type of receiver many have been clamoring for, who can do all the stuff Andy Reid wants but who also is physical and has the ability to win as an X.

Reid LOVES elite YAC players. Im sure the Mizzou fans can educate everyone on Burden's YAC and tackle breaking ability for a receiver.

I mean, he was a YAC monster playing in the SEC. It dropped a bit this year because, again, his QB play was legit awful. It’s hard to pick up as much YaC when you’re having to contort to bring in off-target throws.

The Chiefs could draft him and have a pretty perfect WR for this system. I’ve heard a bit that they don’t like him/don’t want him (Burden’s QB is repped by the same agency as Mahomes…) but say you draft Burden AND it works. All of a sudden you don’t HAVE to keep Rashee Rice if you don’t want to. Or you can give Mahomes a legit 3-headed monster trio at WR, with a crazy deep speed guy and two crazy YAC guys who both can win on the intermediate level, and one of those guys being a dude who can win 1x1 downfield and tracks the ball extremely well.

I’m talking myself into it. lol.

Duncan,

Who would you rather have if both were available? Just curious, Missouri WR Luther Burden III or Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka?

[ForeverIowan]

What is Treyveon Henderson's biggest weakness? He is a bit undersized and likely will never be a guy you can give 20+ touches a game on a consistent basis.

What is a knock on Andy Reid? He favors the pass to a fault and doesnt have the patience to give a back 20+ carries consistently.

I was sold on Omarion Hampton last week. As I hear more I think Henderson is a perfect match. The explosiveness of Xavier Worthy last year paired with the explosivness of Henderson this year? Im all for it!
