Chiefs Finally Get Patrick Mahomes a True WR1 in New Mock Draft

Chiefs Finally Get Patrick Mahomes a True WR1 in New Mock Draft

Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs have not had a top-tier wide receiver since Tyreek Hill left in 2021. A recent mock NFL draft predicts the Chiefs will select Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams in 2027 to strengthen their passing game with Patrick Mahomes.

Key Facts

  • Tyreek Hill was the Chiefs' last true No. 1 wide receiver, leaving after the 2021 season.
  • The Chiefs have relied on tight end Travis Kelce and other receivers but lacked a standout WR1.
  • A recent mock draft from Bleacher Report suggests the Chiefs will pick Ryan Coleman-Williams at 24th overall in 2027.
  • Coleman-Williams is praised for his speed, route-running, and ability to make plays after catching the ball.
  • In his first college season (2024), he had 48 catches, 856 yards, and eight touchdowns.
  • His performance dipped in 2025 but is expected to improve with a new quarterback in 2026.
  • Other Chiefs receivers include Rashee Rice (promising but with off-field issues) and Xavier Worthy (good as a secondary receiver).
  • Adding Coleman-Williams would give the Chiefs a strong WR1 to support quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
