Could the Kansas City Chiefs target a local prospect in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft? ESPN’s longest-tenured draftnik, Mel Kiper Jr., seems to think so.
In Kiper’s post-free agency mock draft, four quarterbacks are taken in the first five selections. Six cornerbacks are taken in the first round, which helps push down some talent in the trenches to Kansas City. Instead of opting for Clemson’s Myles Murphy or Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison, who are inexplicably still available, Kiper has the Chiefs selecting Kansas State edge rusher Felix Anudike-Uzomah.
