Predictions are already being made

NFL media establishments and fans alike love to predict who will choose who, as they try to tap into the minds of the general managers and coaches.

PFF has released its first mock draft to identify what rookies will be the best suited for all franchises in the order they select.

The reigning Super Bowl LVIII champions will have the last pick in the first round (32^nd), the forfeit you receive after finishing as world champions.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason debate has surrounded adding to their receiving core.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was recently cut to save $12 million in cap space.

Mike Evans, was linked with the Chiefs if he was to hit free agency – he signed a new deal with the Tamp Bay Buccaneers.

So, unless they choose to pursue a wideout when the free agency saga begins, they are left with the NFL Draft.

KC to look at the draft again?

PFF has predicted that this is exactly what Kansas City will do and believes they will select Ladd McConkey out of Georgia.

The Georgia Bulldogs receiver is believed to be a lethal weapon in the passing game if he links up with Patrick Mahomes.

McConkey dropped only 6.3% of the catchable passes thrown his way last season.

Dropped passes were a major problem for the Chiefs, as they had the most in the entire NFL (25).

During an interview with Connor Rogers the NBC analyst asked the receiver: “How about an NFL quarterback that you would love to catch passes from?”

The rookie responded swiftly: “That stuff Pat Mahomes is doing right now, I think anybody would be lucky to go run routes for that guy.”

It has worked before!

Rashee Rice, the Chiefs wide receiver rookie, exploded into life last season breaking the single-season rookie receiving touchdown record and the most playoff receptions by a rookie.

The draft was favorable to the Chiefs last year in the same position – so who is to say they do not return there?
