Thanks to COVID-19, there are no Pro Days to observe as the pre-draft process comes to a close. While some players are performing their own isolated workouts, by and large, there will be no new information about these prospects between now and the NFL Draft. Based on everything the scouting community knows, let\u2019s take a look at a seven-round mock draft for the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Note that this mock draft does not include trades due to the obvious issues involved with trying to simultaneously be general manager for two separate teams. Additionally, note that this Chiefs mock draft was performed using the <a href=\"https:\/\/thedraftnetwork.com\/mock-draft-machine\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Draft Network Mock Draft Machine<\/a>, so all of these players have a decent chance of being on the board when Kansas City is on the clock.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kansas City Chiefs Seven Round Mock Draft<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>First Round (32<sup>nd<\/sup> Overall): A.J. Terrell, CB [<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/03\/23\/a-j-terrell-2020-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NFL Draft Profile<\/a>]<\/h3>\n<p>Kansas City\u2019s defense played above the sum of their parts last year, and they can\u2019t bank on that happening for the second straight season. <strong>A.J. Terrell<\/strong> has the height to match up with taller receivers and the lateral agility to match shiftier receivers. While he definitely needs to add more muscle and physicality to his game, he should be a solid starter right out of the gate and has the potential to develop into a top-15 cornerback.<\/p>\n<h3>Second Round (63<sup>rd<\/sup> Overall): Wille Gay, LB [<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/04\/02\/willie-gay-jr-2020-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NFL Draft Profile<\/a>]<\/h3>\n<p>Assuming <strong>Willie Gay<\/strong>\u2019s suspension concerns are nothing to worry about, he would be a great addition to Kansas City\u2019s defense. Gay is a great all-around linebacker with the ability to make plays in coverage and as a pass-rusher. Unconfirmed rumors indicate that his suspensions stem from minor issues like cheating on a chemistry test. The Chiefs have the resources to fully investigate these rumors and should be comfortable pulling the trigger here.<\/p>\n<h3>Third Round (96<sup>th<\/sup> Overall): Eno Benjamin, RB<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WillDa05.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Damien Williams<\/a><\/strong> had a fantastic postseason run, but he\u2019s yet to prove capable of handling a full workload over a 16-game schedule. <strong>Eno Benjamin<\/strong> is a great fit for Kansas City\u2019s offense, as the running back has the skillset to play all three downs and is a natural out of the backfield. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/ReidAn20.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andy Reid<\/a><\/strong> excels at scheming running backs into the open field, and Benjamin should be able to produce right out of the gate.<\/p>\n<h3>Fourth Round (138<sup>th<\/sup> Overall): Ben Bredeson, OIL [<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/04\/11\/ben-bredeson-2020-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NFL Draft Profile<\/a>]<\/h3>\n<p>The Chiefs could use more help along the interior offensive line, and <strong>Ben Bredeson<\/strong> represents a good value for the need. The Michigan product is a multi-year starter on the collegiate with legitimate NFL strength. While his speed leaves something to be desired, it\u2019s not the most important trait for a guard. He probably won\u2019t be able to start right out of the gate but should be valuable depth with decent long-term upside.<\/p>\n<h3>Fifth Round (177<sup>th<\/sup> Overall): Bravvion Roy, IDL [<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/03\/31\/bravvion-roy-2020-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NFL Draft Profile<\/a>]<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Bravvion Roy<\/strong> is one of the most interesting late-round defensive tackles in the class. Instead of winning with brute strength and eating up space, Roy typically wins with speed and a spin move. This is definitely unorthodox for the position and might not translate to the NFL. However, it\u2019s worth the risk at this point of the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"rI5epCiqS199r1LoJDBpAg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1210018993\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'rI5epCiqS199r1LoJDBpAg',sig:'2soK15B2m496hADulzY1WuJ7NZv9W0Ru_MA4w4q37fM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1210018993',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs Mock Draft: Which young prospects could the Kansas City Chiefs go after during the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":85415,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1647,16],"tags":[5273,6203,6355,6324,6470,61,122,40,6422],"class_list":["post-85414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-draft","category-chiefs","tag-2020-nfl-draft","tag-a-j-terrell","tag-ben-bredeson","tag-bravvion-roy","tag-eno-benjamin","tag-football","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-nfl","tag-willie-gay"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
