The Kansas City Chiefs are not without options for the 2022 NFL Draft. They hold a dozen selections, including six of the first 103 picks, and have two picks in each of the first four rounds.

The first-round picks are at Nos. 29 and 30, so they might be able to package picks to move up. Or, if you’ve played Pro Football Focus’ Mock Draft simulator, you know they could end up with two picks in the top 10 (but at a steep price involving future draft picks).

It’s also possible the Chiefs stand pat on Thursday, because there are far worse options than having two first-round picks.

One thing that won’t change before the Chiefs make their first pick: their draft needs.

Most mock drafts show the Chiefs are likely to draft a cornerback, wide receiver or defensive end in the first round. But there are other positions the Chiefs could look to fill.

If general manager Brett Veach let you take the reins and make the Chiefs’ two first-round picks, what positions would you fill? Vote in our poll (make two selections) and/or leave a comment below.
