In a new full mock, ESPN’s Matt Miller sends Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams to Kansas City.
On Monday, ESPN’s Matt Miller published a seven-round mock draft that sent a pass rusher to the Kansas City Chiefs with the 31st pick of the first round.
31. Kansas City Chiefs: EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia
The Chiefs took care of their most glaring roster need in free agency by signing left tackle Jaylon Moore, so they should use this pick as a step toward building the overall talent and depth on their roster. Williams has moments of greatness — he combined for four sacks in two games against Texas in 2024 — but also tends to disappear. He was slowed this season by an ankle injury, yet he showed toughness and glimpses of his ceiling.
Working alongside Chris Jones and George Karlaftis would give Williams one-on-one matchups with offensive linemen as he develops his game. His rare physical tools could make him a special 4-3 defensive end — if he puts everything together. Williams’ pass rush is based mostly on physical ability and lacks technique, but the Chiefs have a good track record of developing defensive talent.
As we come to the end of March, I finally bring you a mock draft that brings a pass rusher to the Chiefs’ defensive line — perhaps one that you haven’t considered. In Miller’s draft, Williams is the fifth EDGE to come off the board, following Texas A&M’s Shemar Stewart with the 29th pick.
Then Donovan Ezeiruaku of Boston College goes to the Philadelphia Eagles with the very next selection, while Tennessee’s James Pearce Jr. lasts until the 49th pick and Texas A&M’s Nick Scourton goes off the board with the 60th pick.
Defensive tackles Ken Grant (39th), Tyliek Williams (42nd), Walter Nolen (43rd) and Alfred Collins (46th) all last into the second round — as does offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. (38th).
Here’s how Miller sees Kansas City using the rest of its picks:
63. Tackle Charles Grant, William & Mary
66. Defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, Florida State
95. Cornerback Nohl Williams, California
133. Running back Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech
226. Safety Kitan Crawford, Nevada
251. Wide receiver Daniel Jackson, Minnesota
257. Defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse, Georgia
