A blockbuster trade proposal has the Kansas City Chiefs moving up in this year’s NFL Draft to select a new No. 1 wide receiver.

Despite issues at wide receiver all season long (drops, penalties and mediocre production) Patrick Mahomes and company saved their best for the playoffs.

The likes of Rashee Rice, Mecole Hardman and Marquez Valdes-Scantling came up with big-time plays and took some of the pressure off of Travis Kelce, and it culminated in a successful Super Bowl repeat.

That said, GM Brett Veach surely knows it’s imperative to upgrade the wide receiver depth if the Chiefs are to three-peat. And NFL.com’s Chad Reuter has Kansas City doing just that with a savvy draft move.

In his latest three-round mock draft, Reuter has the Chiefs acquiring the No. 25 pick from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for the No. 32 and No. 95 picks. With the pick, Reuter projects the Chiefs to select Florida State’s Keon Coleman:
“Selecting receiver Rashee Rice last year in the second round was a nice start, but the Chiefs’ inconsistency at the position could force them to trade up for another top-tier talent. They send their third-round selection, as well as a fifth-rounder, to Green Bay for this pick.”
