KC Chiefs 2024 NFL Draft Top 30 Visit Tracker: News and Rumors
Here's who the reigning champs are hosting for visits as the 2024 NFL Draft approaches.
It's 2024 NFL Draft season for all 32 NFL clubs, and especially for the Kansas City Chiefs. Ahead of April's event in Detroit, the two-time reigning Super Bowl champions are hard at work preparing their draft boards.
For general manager Brett Veach and his staff, this month is a prime opportunity to add depth and future upside to the roster. In recent seasons, Kansas City's playoff runs have been fueled by contributions from outstanding rookie classes. It's a difficult formula to replicate, although Veach has improved since his first haul back in 2018.
As the Chiefs put their finishing touches on draft-related matters, the team is holding "top 30" visits with various prospects. These visits, capped at 30 for hosting purposes, allow organizations to bring in players for a variety of reasons. Examples of what takes place during top 30 visits include medical evaluations, interviews, film or conceptual work, facility tours and the like.
Essentially, these visits help teams gather more information about prospects. It's important to keep in mind that a top 30 visit does not necessarily reflect a club's level of interest. Sometimes, coaches or other staff simply want to get clarification on questions or concerns regarding players.
With that in mind, let's take a look at who the Chiefs are bringing to Kansas City for their 2024 top 30 visits.
