The Kansas City Chiefs will enter the next season with a thirst for revenge after losing the last Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles, and selecting wisely could be key for Andy Reid‘s team. We understand that there are immediate needs, although it wouldn’t hurt to give more firepower to the offense led by Patrick Mahomes.

One of the weak points, which was in fact exposed in Super Bowl LIX, was the offensive line. One of the main objectives is to protect Patrick Mahomes, but what if the Chiefs go in another direction and surprise everyone?
The Kansas City Chiefs could look for their own Saquon Barkley
The Chiefs will have the opportunity to maneuver with their eight available draft picks, and in one of the scenarios proposed by Sports Illustrated, there is the possibility that they select one of the best running backs in this class.
Omarion Hampton running for the University of North Carolina.
Compared on several occasions to Saquon Barkley, there’s Omarion Hampton from North Carolina, a super explosive player who could be available to hear his name and bolster a department that, in reality, left much to be desired last season.
It’s almost certain that TreVyon Henderson will be selected earlier, but Hampton is a very good option who would help rack up yards in bunches, as they say, he could become the Kareem Hunt version of the 2017 Kansas City Chiefs (1,782 yards through the air and on the ground, and 11 touchdowns).
During the last campaign, they lost Isiah Pacheco, and when he returned, he wasn’t the same runner who dazzled in his early years (although he never surpassed 1,000 yards), or at least fulfilling his role to provide alternatives to Mahomes’ offense.
Well, Omarion Hampton is a good option to have a kind of Saquon Barkley, although it’s hard to find a running back of this quality, not to say it’s practically impossible.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ Picks:
- Round 1: 31st
- Round 2: 63rd
- Round 3: 66th, 95th
- Round 4: 133rd
- Round 7: 226th, 251st, 257th
