Chiefs Day 2 Mock Draft: Brett Veach reloads on offense with another trade

I bet you thought that mock draft season was over, didn't you? 

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Buffalo Bills to select WR Xavier Worthy during the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. What could they do on Day 2? I suspect that they will continue to emphasize the offensive side of the ball. 

In the process of trading up for Worthy on Day 1, K.C. turned one of their two Day 2 picks (95) into a Day 3 pick (133). I'm hoping the Chiefs can somehow still make two selections on Day 2, because this class is really strong through the first four rounds before a pretty steep drop-off. 

One option I considered was pairing fourth-round picks, 131 and 133, to move back up into the third round. I ultimately landed on trading down with an NFC team and acquiring two late third-round picks. 

Explaining the trade: The Chiefs send Round 2, No. 64, and a future Day 3 pick to the Green Bay Packers for Round 3, No. 88, and Round 3, No. 91. The Packers need some starting defenders, so they move up over 20 spots and get the best cornerback or linebacker available at pick No. 64. 

Round 3, Pick No. 88: TCU OT Brandon Coleman

As much as I'd love to see the Chiefs get aggressive and move up for one of the remaining offensive tackle prospects, they might have a better option in front of them by trading down.

Coleman is my pick for the Chiefs because he already trains with Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, and Wanya Morris in Frisco, Texas at Duke Manyweather's spot. He battled knee and ankle injuries in 2023, which is one reason he might be available late on Day 2. 

“He was really banged-up but found a way to get the job done, and that’s a characteristic that will translate to the NFL,” Manyweather said, via The Athletic. “Finding a way to get the job done when not 100 percent is what Sunday football is all about.”
