NFL Rumors: Chiefs Calling Teams with Interest in Trading Up in 2022 NFL Draft

The Kansas City Chiefs have 12 picks in the NFL draft, but they could be looking to improve their position.

The Chiefs own the 29 and 30 picks in the first round, and they have started to call teams about trading up, according to Albert Breer.

The team likely doesn't have enough space for 12 rookies because it is a perennial Super Bowl contender. The Chiefs could put together a package to get a top prospect on either side of the ball.

It could be for a receiver. It is possible that Kansas City will jump from Nos. 29 or 30 up, 10 spots or so.

The Chiefs had a 12-5 season in which they made it to the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. The Kansas City Chiefs missed out on a third straight Super Bowl appearance with an overtime loss to Cincinnati.

Despite being one of the best teams in the AFC, the Chiefs will face a lot of competition from their own division. A host of star players have joined the rivals of Kansas City. The Denver Broncos added quarterback Russell Wilson, the Las Vegas Raiders got wide receiver Davante Adams, and the Los Angeles Clippers got edge rusher Khalil Mack.

The team is looking to add a blue-chip player through the draft after they parted ways with star wideout Tyreek Hill.
