DAZN Mock: Chiefs Grab Edge Rusher, Tight End in 2026 Draft

On March 23rd, DAZN writer Jason Abbey put out a fresh mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft,

spotlighting two key picks for the Kansas City.

Chiefs, at the 9th overall spot, he has them grabbing Miami Edge R Usher, Ruben Bane Jr,

to boost the pass rush. Later, with their 29th pick from a trade with the Los Angeles Rams,

they select Oregon tight-in King and Sadiq. Abbey focused on the Edge position because the

chiefs lack depth behind George Carlaptis. He passed on top safeties like Caleb Downs and

Spencer Fano to address that urgent need right away. This move would help Kansas City pressure

quarterbacks in a tough division with guys like Justin Herbert and Bonix. It fits their strategy

of building a defense that disrupts passing games early. For the later pick, Sadiq stands out

as a potential successor to Travis Kelsey, who plans to return in 2026, but is aging.

The athletic tight-in can block in the run game and grow into a weapon for Patrick Mahomes

by year two. The draft heads to Pittsburgh on April 23rd and plenty of shifts could happen

before then to shake up these projections. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL
