The Kansas City Chiefs are predicted to draft Tennessee's James Pearce Jr. in the 2025 NFL draft. The NFL draft is set to kick off this week with the first round starting on Thursday night. The Tennessee Volunteers have a handful of prospects that will be waiting to hear their name called.

Still, the Chiefs have been to five Super Bowls in the past six seasons and will enter 2025 looking to reclaim their spot as the top team in the NFL.Kansas City’s offensive line was unable to stop the Eagles’ pass rush in the Super Bowl.

The Athletic’s Nate Taylor wrote this in his mock draft: “The Chiefs trade their first-round pick (No. 31), their original third-round pick (No. 95) and their original 2026 fourth-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for No. 24, a fourth-round pick (No. 139) and a 2026 fourth-round pick.”
