During the NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs' main goal was to find players to help protect and make plays for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kansas City chose Ohio State's offensive tackle Josh Simmons in the first round, and hopefully, he will be able to protect Mahomes for the foreseeable future.
The Chiefs also drafted a playmaker for Mahomes in Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals, who could compete for the No. 3 wide receiver job this offseason.
Kansas City might not be done adding to the wide receiver room, and Erik Beaston from Bleacher Report predicts the Chiefs will sign Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond.
"There are a handful of teams that could benefit from Isaiah Bond's game-breaking speed and reliability in big moments," Beaston wrote. "A wide receiver who can catch a three-yard out route and take it 50 yards for a score, he is among the most explosive players in this year's draft. Still available as an undrafted free agent, wide receiver-needy teams like the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills would benefit exponentially from a player with the ability to stretch the field and create big plays like Bond can. They are not the only ones, though. Both 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and Rams coach Sean McVay love to get creative offensively and utilize receivers out of the backfield on end-around runs to keep defenses honest. Bond proved an ability to do that in college, too, delivering a 44-yard gut-punch of a run against Florida in 2024. He is an explosive multi-faceted weapon for any team that signs him, but look for an experienced head coach with offensive creativity to be the one who compels the front office to make that signing. Like a certain three-time defending AFC champion."
Bond spent three seasons in college, playing two at Alabama before transferring to Texas last season. Bond recorded 540 receiving yards and five touchdowns in his only season with the Longhorns. In 41 career games, Bond recorded 1,428 receiving yards and 10 scores.
