CBS Sports (Josh Edwards – March 26): Utah OT Spencer Fano at No. 9, Clemson CB Avieon Terrell at No. 29
CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards went with a pick on each side of the ball in his latest mock, selecting Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano to Kansas City at No. 9, followed by Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell at No. 29.
Here’s a portion of what Edwards wrote about each pick:
Fano: “The Chiefs are not often in a position to add a premium talent in the top 10 overall. It is not a flashy addition, but they are filling the roster with another pick in the round.”
Terrell: “Nohl Williams showed a lot of promise during his rookie season and Kristian Fulton, Kader Kohou have been serviceable when healthy. If everything goes as planned, the Chiefs may already be able to absorb the losses of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson…Avieon Terrell gives them some positional flexibility as well as insurance in the event not everything DOES go as planned.”
ESPN (Matt Miller – March 30): Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. at No. 9, Clemson CB Avieon Terrell at No. 29
Matt Miller from ESPN has Kansas City selecting Miami edge-rusher Rueben Bain at No. 9 and Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell at No. 29 in his full, seven-round mock.
Here’s what Miller wrote about each selection:
Bain: “Bain would immediately start opposite George Karlaftis and has the inside/outside alignment versatility that Steve Spagnuolo has typically preferred. With 71 pressures and 9.5 sacks in 2025, Bain has the strength, speed and production to make teams overlook his sub-standard 30⅞-inch arm length. The Chiefs don’t normally get a chance to pick this high, so this is a rare opportunity to grab a blue-chip prospect at a high-value position.”
Terrell: “The younger brother of Falcons’ cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr., [Terrell has the] ability to play inside or outside. He had three interceptions at Clemson while allowing only 4.4 yards per attempt when targeted by opposing quarterbacks.”
