Chiefs’ 2026 mock drafts edge-first, then cornerback reinforcements
TL;DR Summary
The Kansas City Star’s 2026 mock draft 2.0 shifts to defense, projecting Rueben Bain Jr. as the No. 9 edge rushER and Tennessee’s Colton Hood as a first-/early second-round cornerback to bolster KC’s depleted secondary after losses of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. Bain’s shorter arm length is debated, but proponents point to his burst and versatility, suggesting he could start immediately if drafted.
