The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ offense does have a few holes as we approach the draft.<\/p>\n

Receiver and a backup tight end for Travis Kelce are two positions, while the offensive line could also do with some reinforcements, but I doubt that will happen in the first round.<\/p>\n

Given that Kelce is likely playing his final NFL season, considering his replacement isn’t a bad idea, as his successor could play under Travis for a year and learn from him before taking over in 2027.<\/p>\n

For Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, he’s named the Chiefs as a landing spot for star Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

“Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq remains the most intriguing player in the draft, in my mind,” Breer wrote<\/a>. “I think you could argue, too, that if you\u2019ve got a creative offensive coordinator\/system, he has the best chance of any of the guys in the class to become the focal point of a team\u2019s passing game. The Chiefs and Ravens<\/a> would be fun landing spots for him.”<\/p>\n

Could Chiefs select Sadiq?<\/p>\n

Absolutely, they could, and the best thing for Kansas City is that it has two first-round picks to play with.<\/p>\n

Seeing as Sadiq is the best tight end in the draft and is seen as more of a receiver than a tight end, the Chiefs, with Andy Reid calling the plays, could put Sadiq in some great positions.<\/p>\n

Could the Chiefs take him at No. 9? That might be a little high, but what about at No. 29? That might be too far back in the first-round, as other tight end-needy teams could snatch him up.<\/p>\n

Sadiq could be the ideal Kelce replacement, which makes what the Chiefs do at No. 9 such a fascinating story.<\/p>\n
