Chiefs Wire

There are just 33 days to go until the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. This is our second full 7-round mock draft on Chiefs Wire for 2023 (find 1.0 here), coming after the first few waves of free agency. We’ll be sharing different mock drafts with varying themes into late April, but this time around, we’re attacking things after the first wave of free agency. The Chiefs have retained several pieces and made four key additions in Jawaan Taylor, Charles Omenihu, Drue Tranquill and Mike Edwards. They still have quite a few vacancies to fill on the 90-man offseason roster and a lot of those will come through the draft. In order to gauge player availability for the mock draft, I ran multiple simulations. If players weren’t available with regularity, they were eliminated from contention at a specific pick. Typically, that gives us 8-10 players on the big board to choose from at a given pick.
