31. Kansas City Chiefs - Trey’Dez Green, TE, LSU

Kansas City will eventually need a legitimate replacement for Travis Kelce, who could very well retire following the 2026 season. Why not Trey’Dez Green? At 6-7 and roughly 240 pounds, he’s going to be one of the biggest players on the field at any given time.

And, unsurprisingly, Green has a huge catch radius and is quite athletic. You also might not be surprised to hear that there isn’t much in the way of blocking, but it feels like a majority of young tight ends coming into the NFL Draft are similar prospects.

With Patrick Mahomes still doing his thing, adding Green to the mix could simply be unfair for opposing defenses, as he has been a productive player with less talented players on offense. The Chiefs have not exactly drafted well in recent years on offense, as this unit definitely has some personnel concerns, but Green does feel like a safe pick who also has really encouraging upside.

32. San Francisco 49ers - Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M

This could be a fun pick for the San Francisco 49ers. Once again, the 49ers are dealing with a ton of injuries, and it’s really impacted their WR room. Somehow, this team is 4-0 and looks like a juggernaut.

If the Niners can somehow get healthy, they’re as likely as any team to make a Super Bowl run this year, but when you look beneath the surface, you definitely see some personnel issues. The team has not drafted well in general in recent years, and their overall inability to get the WR room right makes this position a logical target.

Mario Craver is small at 5-9 and about 165 pounds, but the speed and YAC ability are all present, and getting him in a Kyle Shanahan offense could be unfair for the rest of the league. Obviously, they’ll have to try and work around him being much smaller, but getting him in motion and into space would feel like a cheat code for Shanahan’s offense.
