Chiefs trade back with Cowboys in Peter Schrager’s final mock draft
Arrowhead Pride • • sports
Key Points:
- The Kansas City Chiefs are projected to trade down from No. 9 to No. 12 and acquire an additional first-round pick at No. 20.
- At No. 12, the Chiefs plan to select Rueben Bain Jr., an edge rusher from Miami who recorded 9.5 sacks last season and could complement George Karlaftis well.
- With the No. 20 pick, the Chiefs aim to draft wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. from Indiana, noted for his toughness and versatility, drawing comparisons to Deebo Samuel.
- This projected first-round strategy addresses the Chiefs' needs for pass rush and receiving depth, especially following Patrick Mahomes' torn ACL and concerns in the receiver group.
- The Dallas Cowboys would receive picks No. 9 and No. 29 in exchange, moving up in the draft order.
