What might we expect Kansas City to do with all eight of its picks?
Up to now, we’ve mostly focused on first-round mock drafts as we consider what the Kansas City Chiefs might do in the NFL Draft. But as the Thursday kickoff draws near, more and more seven-round mocks are being released. Let’s consider three of them.

Including the first-round picks from these mocks, in the 137 mock drafts we’ve tracked since January, offensive tackle (38%) remains the position most likely to be mocked to the Chiefs at 31 — and Ohio State tackle Josh Simmons (18%) leads the players who have been chosen.
But when we focus on the mocks we’ve covered in the last two weeks, both percentages are even higher.
