The Kansas City Chiefs have turned all their attention to their historical three-peat attempt but this has not stopped some from predicting how the 2025 NFL Draft first round will fall.

Despite all energy and focus being aimed at the upcoming season, there is always room to prepare for the long-term future.

In April, the Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Buffalo Bills to take one of the most unique prospects Xavier Worthy.

The wide receiver set the 40-yard dash Combine record and the Chiefs made sure to land their man.

The New England Patriots were desperate to land Xavier Worthy via a trade

Last week, Michael Lombardi revealed that the Bills received a call from the New England Patriots and they wanted to trade for Worthy.

The Chiefs’ new asset will provide a deep threat for Patrick Mahomes who also has the free agent addition of Marquise Brown.

Moreover, the 21-year-old has had a rough start to his NFL training after tweaking his hamstring.

The Big-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year has had to watch from the sidelines but offensive coordinator Matt Nagy has still been testing his ability.

In addition, the Chiefs have brought back Mecole Hardman and further depth to an already stacked position.

The early process for the 2025 NFL Draft has started and Brett Veach will look to hit again

General Manager Brett Veach will already have a rough report about the potential 2025 NFL Draft class and the Chiefs will have their scouts observing closely.

Pro Football Network has already produced a simulation of how the 2025 NFL Draft first round will fall.

Furthermore, the Draft order was predicted based on each team’s current Super Bowl odds entering the 2024 season.

The Chiefs are second favorites to retain their crown and make history with victory in New Orleans.

Only their latest victim the San Francisco 49ers has better odds.

Mock Draft predicts the Chiefs to take Oregon receiver in the first round

Therefore, with the thirty-first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chiefs are predicted to select wide receiver Evan Stewart out of Oregon.

“Patient as they always are in the draft, the Kansas City Chiefs bide their time again, only to walk away with another late-first-round WR with Evan Stewart,” via Pro Football Network

“Stewart is a nuanced route runner with sticky hands and top-end agility, adding to Patrick Mahomes’ arsenal and making him an immediate short-yardage threat for the Chiefs.”

Stewart suits up for his first season in Oregon and is a short-yardage threat

After two seasons at Texas A&M, he has entered the transfer portal and has exited with Oregon.

In Texas, he recorded 1,163 receiving yards off 91 receptions including six touchdowns.

Stewart is predicted to be a short-yardage threat up to the medium level in the NFL, with plenty of deep threat already, his profile would suit the Chiefs.

Rashee Rice’s off-field investigation is yet to be resolved, Marquise Brown and Hardman are fixed on a one-year deal, and Kadarius Toney is set to hit free agency in 2025.

Therefore, the Chiefs have plenty of reason to provide Patrick Mahomes with another weapon early in the 2025 NFL Draft.
