The Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2026 NFL Draft with nine picks, including a top-10 selection, after their first losing season since 2012. The team needs to upgrade its roster, particularly on the defensive and offensive lines. GM Brett Veach says the Chiefs are 'a few short' on the defensive line despite adding nose tackle Khyiris Tonga in free agency.
