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.
In this one, 32 PFF analysts stood in for the league’s general managers, making every pick for each team. Ben Linsey made Brett Veach’s picks.
31. DT Walter Nolen, Mississippi
63. T Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
66. CB Azareye’h Thomas, Florida State
95. HB Cameron Skattebo, Arizona State
133. WR Tory Horton, Colorado State
226. TE Jalin Conyers, Texas Tech
251. S Alijah Clark, Syracuse
257. WR Konata Mumpfield, Pittsburgh
Draft analyst Jordan Reid made all 257 selections, projecting no trades.
31. T Josh Simmons, Ohio State
63. EDGE Jordan Burch, Oregon
66. EDGE Princely Umanmielen, Mississippi
95. RB RJ Harvey, Central Florida
133. G Miles Frazier, LSU
226. CB Alijah Huzzie, North Carolina
251. WR Efton Chism III, Eastern Washington
257. S Maxen Hook, Toledo
This one from Ian Valentino also didn’t include any trades.
31. CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky
63. DT Omarr Norman-Lott, Tennessee
66. T Wyatt Milum, West Virginia
95. EDGE Jared Ivey, Mississippi
133. RB Damien Martinez, Miami (FL)

251. WR Daniel Jackson, Minnesota
257. CB Fentrell Cypress, Florida State
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.
