NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Chiefs GM Brett Veach holds the No. 9, No. 29, and No. 40 picks in the 2026 NFL draft and is closely monitoring offensive line prospects for those selections.
- Veach expects a significant run on offensive linemen between picks 10 and 25, with talent becoming scarce by pick 35 or 40.
- Top offensive line prospects like Miami tackle Francis Mauigoa are anticipated to be selected within the top 10 picks.
- Other potential first-round offensive linemen include Spencer Fano, Monroe Freeling, Kadyn Proctor, Olaivavega Ioane, Blake Miller, and Chase Bisontis.
- Veach aims to draft an offensive lineman at No. 9 or No. 29 but doubts one will be available by the No. 40 pick.
