The defending world champions have their eyes set on moving up in this week's NFL Draft, and are already making calls to make that a reality.

 

According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, the Chiefs are one of the few teams around the league that have already been active in moving up in Round 1 of the draft. Breer says that Kansas City is looking to add a new skill player, and have been connected to Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers, who worked out with Patrick Mahomes last week, and Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

 

Additional team needs for the Chiefs are depth at offensive tackle, defensive back, and a speed edge rusher for the defensive line.

 

Breer added that if the Chiefs stay put at pick 31, players to watch for are Tennessee wideout Jalin Hyatt and Michigan defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
