The Kansas City Chiefs have been revealed to be jostling with their rivals to secure one rookie in the first round, according to the bookmakers.

Brett Veach will be preparing to take his seat in the war room on Thursday.

On Friday last week, the general manager revealed that he had not ruled out trading up in the draft.

In addition, Veach explained that the Chiefs believe only 16-18 players are first-round quality.

Those players could be off the board once it comes to their pick in the NFL Draft, which could justify a trade-up.

Kansas City is set to be on the clock with the last pick in the first round, the price you pay for being the reigning Super Bowl champions.

From the census across mock drafts and analysts’ opinions, the Chiefs are to pursue a left tackle or a wide receiver.

Moreover, the Chiefs have added Marquise Brown to the roster, opening up a new dynamic for the Chiefs.

Nonetheless, the departure of Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman leaves the receiving core shy of talent.

Rashee Rice was expected to have a significant role in his sophomore season but his offseason legal battle has cast some doubt on that possibility.

Per Pro Football Talk, the Chiefs are set to rival the Buffalo Bills for the signing of one unique draft talent.

Based on the current betting odds, Xavier Worthy is predicted to land on the Bills or Chiefs roster.

Furthermore, the Bills also need a receiving threat after they saw All-pro Stefon Diggs leave in a trade.

Worthy could be on both their radars but the Bills will get the first choice as they hold the 28th pick in the draft.

The rookie out of Texas made jaws drop after running the fastest-ever NFL Combine 40-year dash at 4.21 seconds.

Could this be more reason for the Chiefs to trade up as they could steal Worthy from a rival?

The receiver is on the fringe of being a precited first and second-rounder pick.
