The Kansas City Chiefs are one of only a handful of teams that have two first-round selections in the upcoming NFL Draft. That makes them dangerous.

With the ability to nearly do anything they want, the Chiefs can look to move up, trade back, or stay put and draft two starters for Andy Reid's team.

But the big question is which positions should Kansas City fortify in the first round?

For Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano, his dream scenario is the Chiefs wait to see if a corner falls to them, but adding tight end Kenyon Sadiq and edge rusher Akheem Mesidor.

"Kansas City should look ahead and add Sadiq to eventually replace Travis Kelce," Manzano writes. "He can learn from one of the best ever at the position while offensive mastermind Andy Reid builds a unique set of plays for the athletically gifted Oregon tight end. (Sadiq ran a 4.39 at the scouting combine.)

"As for their second first-round pick, the Chiefs can add depth to the defensive line, an area that struggled last season. Chris Jones turns 32 in July and George Karlaftis needs help on the opposite side.”

Chiefs set for 2026 resurgence?

Well, they can't be as bad as last season, can they?

Andy Reid and Co. have gone to work over the offseason to reset the roster and have signed Kenneth Walker to fix the run game. They did lose star corners Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, so getting a corner in the first-round would be ideal.

So, too, getting Travis Kelce's replacement, and another pass rusher. So the Chiefs could go in several directions here.
