There's a long way to go until the 2023 NFL Draft, but we're already starting to get a good idea of who might be a good fit for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Pro Football Network recently used data from various mock draft simulations to determine the players most often being mocked to each NFL team in the 2023 NFL Draft.
For the Chiefs, that player is Notre Dame edge rusher Isaiah Foskey.
The Kansas City Chiefs are projected to pick at the tail end of Round 1 (No. 30 overall). Even with that many picks ahead of them, the users clearly are in tune with what the team needs. Notre Dame EDGE Isaiah Foskey is one of three defensive lineman picked by Chiefs’ users a heavy portion of the time.
Foskey, however, comes in just under a quarter of the time as the long defensive end brings with him the high-level potential to be a game-wreaker off the edge.
The Chiefs selected Purdue edge rusher George Karlaftis in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but that shouldn't preclude Kansas City from selecting an edge rusher in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
An ineffective pass rush was the Chiefs' biggest issue in the playoffs this past season. And since Kansas City didn't do much in free agency to bolster their pass rush, they're going to need to continue to address it through the draft. Foskey is a high-upside player that could play a big role for Kansas City relatively quickly.
It's far too early to know whether or not Kansas City will have a legitimate shot to land Foskey, but he's a player Chiefs fans should keep an eye on this fall.
