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.

I'm not a doctor.


But when you say 0% that is strange because the mock draft talk has this guy going in the 1st even now.


Maybe the mock drafters are wrong, it does happen every year on a few players.

The Broncos are going to take TreVeyon Henderson and it’s going to piss me the **** off

I like your late round RB idea a lot better.



Give me Jarquez Hunter later on.

[staylor26]

You picked for the Chiefs?

If so, you should've taken Nolen

[Kiimo]

I was one of four people drafting and I did and I passed on him on purpose. There are a ton of DTs in this draft and you can get one in the second.

What you can't get in my opinion is Luther Burden and I think he's going to be a difference maker. I admit having a wide receiver fetish though.


I was going to trade up to 14 for Tetairoa McMillian but a guy who didn't do his research did that for the Cardinals.

NOPE. No way Veach is letting the Bills take Harmon one spot before us and letting the Eagles take Nolen one spot after us. No way.

I love Burden, but I just don't think they're taking a WR in the 1st, especially with Nolen on the board.

I'd also just rather have Nolen and one of Jalen Royals, Kyle Williams, or Tre Harris over Burden and one of T.J. Sanders, Omarr Norman-Lott, or Shemar Turner.

[Kiimo]

I like Nolen but I don't think he's some magical unicorn that we have to take him over other guys.

I do think Burden has sleeper star potential.

[staylor26]

I think they both have star potential. You're underrating Nolen's upside a little.

Unless Veech was just doing propaganda during his press conference, he indicated that Edge and RB's were loaded but indicated DT there were only a handful. I would not be surprised if he wants more of a all around DT early not just a space eater you can get later. Also would not be surprised of he is not looking at 2 this draft.

Chiefs going to move up in the draft and take one of the top LT.

yeah I’m not so sure about that because I don’t really like any tackle in this entire draft

[Rain Man]

Where do we need upgrades or replacements or rotational guys? I think DT, LT, RB, and maybe one could argue LG, CB.

I'd be a little surprised with an LT since we've got a lot of developmental guys in the hopper and an immediate solution in place.

I'd be a little surprised at a RB in Round 1 (though not shocked if a top guy falls to us).

I'd be surprised at a LG in Round 1 just because guards don't usually go in Round 1.

There seems to be a lot of DT talent available so I could see them waiting until Rounds 2 or 3 there.

I don't see us taking a guy with a bad reputation given the Rashee problem.

My guess will be a bit out of left field. I'm going to go with Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame.

My backup choices will be Trey Amos and Shavon Revel, both CBs.

(Edit: it looks like Morrison is getting mocked lower each week, so maybe I'll change my selection to Trey Amos instead.)

I think getting a top CB will let them move McDuffie back into the slot, and will also give us more depth. We saw what happened when Watson went down for a while last year.
