Chiefs Now Projected to Pick No. 9 in 2026 NFL Draft

Missing the postseason has Kansas City tracking for a rare top-10 selection.

Overview

  • The projection followed the Dec. 28 early games, placing Kansas City at No. 9 for now.
  • The draft position remains provisional and could shift before the order is finalized.
  • The Chiefs’ last top-10 pick came in 2013, when they selected Eric Fisher at No. 1.
  • Kansas City has never selected ninth overall, though it has picked 10th three times.
  • Denver clinched the AFC West over the weekend, and Broncos lineman Jonathan Cooper posted an expletive-filled taunt at the Chiefs on social media.
