Kansas City Chiefs urged to avoid top playmaker in 2026 NFL Draft

The Kansas City Chiefs need to add some firepower on offense, and they'll have an opportunity to do that in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. 

The Chiefs will pick in the top 10 in the draft for the first time in over a decade, and thus they should have plenty of top-tier talent to choose from. 

Chiefs urged to avoid Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson in 2026 NFL Draft

However, the Chiefs have been urged to avoid one particular player in the first round of the draft. 

Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report advised the Chiefs against picking Arizona State star wide receiver Jordyn Tyson due to injury concerns. Tyson, a two-time First-team All-Big 12 selection, is considered to be one of the best receiver prospects in the draft class. 

"Tyson has a concerning history of injury that needs to be considered. He tore his ACL, MCL and PCL as a freshman at Colorado and only played in nine games last season as he dealt with a hamstring issue down the stretch of his final collegiate campaign," Ballentine wrote. 

"His skills will make him a tempting selection for a team that needs young playmakers to step up. However, needs at offensive tackle and edge-rusher should leave Kansas City with better, higher-floor selections."
