Top 10 Targets in 2020 NFL Draft

The Kansas City Chiefs have to make it a priority for them to come out of this draft with a solid running back that can take the workload next season when Damien Williams becomes a free agent. If D’Andre Swift is still on the board when the Chiefs pick, they need to get Swift and not think twice. This cornerback class is deeper than others think. Get a running back that will be the future of your team with Patrick Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs also need to fill that cornerback void. If Trevon Diggs is available, the Chiefs should really think about drafting him. If not, Johnson and Igbinoghene are both fringe first-round talent cornerbacks. The Chiefs will not be just fine with either one of them. They are both studs, but Diggs is the better prospect that will fit the Chiefs scheme better.

The Kansas City Chiefs are also having a linebacker issue that they have to solve this offseason if it was during free agency or the draft. I think Queen and Murray will be gone, but if you of them fall to 32nd overall, the Chiefs should be very excited to draft the linebacker that they will have for the next 10 years. If not, Baun is a great second-round prospect that I think should be a first-round selection. Brooks has talks that he might go in the first round and I have also heard that Brooks could fall to the third round, it all depends on what happens with the top three linebackers first.
