Perfect Chiefs 2024 NFL Draft plan: Another weapon for Patrick Mahomes

[ad_1]

The Kansas City Chiefs are your Super Bowl champions for the second straight year, and now, Patrick Mahomes and Co. have a chance at a three-peat, which has never happened in the NFL before. While they are again atop the NFL world, this is a big offseason for Kansas City.

The Chiefs have to make some tough decisions on looming free agents such as Chris Jones and L’Jarius Sneed, and have to reevaluate the offensive line as well as Mahomes’ weaponry.
