Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach’s plan in the 2026 NFL Draft has been to make Steve Spagnuolo a happy man. On Day 1, he took LSU CB Mansoor Delane and Clemson DT Peter Woods. On Day 2, he grabbed Oklahoma EDGE R Mason Thomas.

The offense has been wholly ignored to this point, but it feels like that changes for the Chiefs on Day 3. How will it play out? That remains to be seen. Here’s a mock draft of what I might do if I were the one calling the shots.

Round 4, Pick 109: Cincinnati WR Jeff Caldwell

There’s some really good defensive value still on the board, but if I am Brett Veach, I am grabbing my wide receiver at pick No. 109. Four teams ahead of you could be in the market for a wide receiver, including all three AFC West rivals and the Buffalo Bills.

Veach might have someone else in mind, but my guy is Caldwell. The kid absolutely lit up the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, drawing comparisons to some of the league’s physical and athletic freaks.

The 23-year-old had 32 catches for 478 yards and six touchdowns in 2025, which isn’t exactly eye-popping statistics. This is a bet on sheer athletic upside, and the fact that the Chiefs now have a real wide receiver coach. He hasn’t faced the best competition, needs to improve on his drops, and play more physically at the catch point. It’s not necessarily about what he could be for Kansas City in 2026, but rather what he can be in 2027 and beyond.

Round 5, Pick 169: Memphis OT Travis Burke

Could the Chiefs find their right tackle of the future in Round 5? Burke is 6-foot-8 and 325 pounds with 34.25-inch arms. He plays with a crazy, nasty streak and loves to finish overzealous defenders. He’s the type of guy who can set the tone in the run game, but he’s also got the requisite length and strength to excel as a pass blocker.

Round 5, Pick 176: Oklahoma S Robert Spears-Jennings

DeMarco Murray played a role in the Chiefs’ selection of Oklahoma EDGE R Mason Thomas. I wonder if he won’t have some intel on Spears-Jennings as well. He’s a versatile safety at 6-foot and 205 pounds, playing deep safety, in the box, and nickel corner. At just 22 years old, he’s one of the best run-fitting safeties in this class, with 4.3 speed.

Round 6, Pick 210: TCU LB Namdi Obiazor

There’s a really solid pocket of linebackers left in this draft class, and I think you can still get an impact player in Round 6. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 229 pounds, Obiazor had a solid showing at the combine with a 37-inch vertical, a 119-inch broad jump, and a 4.53s 40-yard dash. He had 88 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, and a forced fumble for the Horned Frogs in 2025.
