The Kansas City Chiefs are eyeing another Texas Tech standout for the draft | Marca
Fans Call for Another Texas Tech Star
Excitement is rising as the Kansas City Chiefs recently shared a photo of their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, celebrating his Texas Tech origins. Fans have quickly started advocating for the team to select Tahj Brooks, an impressive running back prospect from the same university.
Brooks has made a significant impact at Texas Tech, establishing himself as one of the program's best running backs. In 2024, he claimed the title of the school's all-time leading rusher, concluding his college journey with a remarkable total of 4,557 rushing yards garnered over 56 games.

Position of interest: Backup tight end
Position of lesser focus: Running back
While the Chiefs appear to be stable at running back and wide receiver, it wouldn’t be out of character for them to delve into those positions. I’m inclined to believe Andy Reid, who mentioned during the NFL owners meeting that Isiah Pacheco will "be an even better player this year" after recovering from last season's broken leg. Furthermore, Kansas City has welcomed back Kareem Hunt and signed Elijah Mitchell. If Rashee Rice (knee) is back to 100%, that trio with Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown solidifies the receiving corps. Additionally, Travis Kelce plans to return for at least one more season, yet the Chiefs could seek a successor in the draft. Although they might miss out on elite options like Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland, talents like LSU’s Mason Taylor, Miami’s Elijah Arroyo, or Bowling Green’s Harold Fannin Jr. are worth watching this weekend.
Chiefs and Titans in Discussion for Major Draft Trade
Recent discussions have stemmed around the Kansas City Chiefs possibly acquiring wide receiver Treylon Burks during the NFL Draft. Reports suggest the Tennessee Titans and the Chiefs could strike a deal involving Burks for a fifth-round pick, which makes sense given Kansas City's receiving needs. The talented player was chosen in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft but has faced challenges early in his career, ostensibly due to injuries that hampered his performance during his sophomore season.

31. Kansas City Chiefs – OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
How long can the Chiefs dodge addressing the left tackle position without frustrating QB Patrick Mahomes? Simmons, standing at 6'5" and weighing 317 lbs, might have been a top-10 pick had he not suffered an unfortunate injury last season. With recovery underway, he has the potential to be a great investment, providing an opportunity for recently signed OT Jaylon Moore to display his capabilities on either side of Kansas City’s evolving offensive line.

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Oregon OT Josh Conerly Jr.
With the departure of Joe Thuney to the Bears, it is evident that bolstering the offensive line is critical for Mahomes’ protection. Although Kansas City has signed Jaylon Moore, bringing in Conerly could significantly improve the tackle position.

Round 1 - Pick 31
Donovan Jackson IOL
Ohio State • Sr • 6’4” / 315 lbs
Kansas City is in need of linemen, and it is wise to snag one now rather than hoping for talent to still be available later in the draft. Aireontae Ersery could be an option as he’s local, but Jackson’s versatility as a guard and tackle showcased at the highest level makes him an ideal choice here.
