We are less than one month away from the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Kansas City Chiefs have done a nice job of filling out their roster during free agency in order to be able to choose the best player available during their selections. With how unpredictable the draft is each year, it's nice to have the flexibility to pick from multiple different positions.
Our A to Z Sports writers and draft gurus Adam Holt and Rob Gregson composed a two-round mock draft on Tuesday, and gave the Chiefs a double dose of help on offense. Let's analyze their choices for Kansas City below. . .
No. 31: OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
"The Chiefs have already shown some interest in Ersery, and he's projected to be around here in many mock drafts. His prototypical size is a piece of the pie that KC will prefer, and they simply cannot keep placing a band-aid on the massive wound that is their OT situation in front of Patrick Mahomes." --Adam Holt
Offensive tackle has been a common position linked to the Chiefs among their early selections. Ersery is a Kansas City native, attending Ruskin High School before heading to Minnesota in 2020 to play his college ball.
He is a powerhouse at 6-foot-6 and 331 pounds, but is a bit stiff in his technique and could struggle against athletic pass rushers. There are a couple of ways the Chiefs could go with Ersery if they do select him.
He'll likely be a backup as a rookie behind Jaylon Moore and Jawaan Taylor, and would also have to battle it out with Wanya Morris to be the swing tackle. However, K.C. could move on from Taylor after the 2025 season and plug Ersery in as the starting RT in 2026. Ersery could also be groomed to be the Chiefs' LT of the future if things don't work out with Moore.
No. 63: WR Isaiah Bond, Texas
This selection would mark the second straight year that the Chiefs drafted a wide receiver from Texas after taking Xavier Worthy in 2024. Like Worthy, Bond has blazing speed, although his 4.35 40-yard dash time fell short of Worthy's 4.21.
Still, a trio of Bond, Worthy, and Hollywood Brown could return K.C.'s offense back to the "legion of zoom" days. During his three-year collegian career, Bond amassed 1,428 receiving yards, 101 rushing yards, and 11 total TDs.
He took a bit of a step back with the Longhorns in yardage and TD production in 2024, but set a career-high 15.9 yards per catch average. The Chiefs would likely ease Bond in as a gadget-like player on offense and a return man on special teams, but he could get a bigger role in 2026 as Brown is only on a one-year contract.
