The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0are now in full offseason mode after losing\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0LIX, 40-22, to the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0and failing to be the first team to win three in a row.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest events until now and the start of next season is the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft, in which the Chiefs hold the No. 31 pick.<\/p>\n

In a mock draft done by Fox Sports, they are predicted to select wide receiver Emeka Egbuka out of\u00a0Ohio State.<\/p>\n

“Patrick Mahomes\u00a0needs another weapon with\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0aging and Xavier Worthy still learning the nuisances of being a complete receiver at the next level,”\u00a0they wrote. “Egbuka is the Buckeyes’ all-time leader in receptions and had double-digit touchdown catches in two of his last three seasons in Columbus. He’s a possession receiver who serves as a great compliment to Worthy’s deep-threat ability.”<\/p>\n

In their national championship win, he racked up six receptions for 64 yards, which not only helped him capture Ohio State’s all-time receptions record, now at 205, but also showed that he performs well on a big stage.<\/p>\n

Considering Kansas City just participated in their fifth Super Bowl in six years, that’s a valuable asset for anyone joining the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Egbuka could also directly replace DeAndre Hopkins, who, for the Chiefs in 2024, accumulated 41 receptions, 437 yards, and four touchdowns, which was all second among wide receivers. However, Hopkins is set to hit free agency.<\/p>\n
