Round 1, No. 29 overall: CB Chris Johnson, San Diego State
McDuffie and Watson are gone and the Chiefs could always use more talent to develop at the position. Johnson is a great value here as a scheme-versatile outside cornerback with size and speed. He would contend with Kristian Fulton and Nohl Williams for a starting role as a rookie and a building block for the future.
Round 2, No. 40 overall: TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Kelce is back in Kansas City but the Chiefs have to be thinking about their future at the position. Stowers is one of the most explosive players in the 2026 class and put on a show at the NFL combine with his dynamic athleticism. He’s a bit undersized at 235 pounds but could be a vertical threat from the position the Chiefs haven’t had since Kelce’s athletic prime. In time, he could grow into a tight end of the future for Mahomes.
