Tracking Chiefs' 2023 NFL Draft Top-30 Visits

An up-to-date list of who Kansas City has been doing homework on prior to this year's draft.

The 2023 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching, with the Kansas City Chiefs having plenty of avenues they can choose to go following their Super Bowl LVII victory.

With positions of need primarily being wide receiver, defensive end and offensive/defensive tackle, general manager Brett Veach will be tasked with putting his 10 draft picks to good use at the end of April. In advance of the draft, though, Kansas City is visiting with many of the prospects in this year's class. Informal and virtual meetings — as well as private workouts — have been in full swing, but the "top-30" visit is one of the main elements of the pre-draft process that must also be taken into account.

Top-30 visits, naturally, consist of 30 designated visits teams can use to meet with draft-eligible prospects. In these visits, players come to team facilities for things such as medical evaluations, meetings with coaches and more. Clubs take advantage of these meetings to do valuable homework on prospects they want to know more about, and all 32 teams have until April 19 to use up their allowance of 30 visits. 

Which prospects have the Chiefs held top-30 visits with this offseason? How many different positions have been targeted in these meetings? The Arrowhead Report tracker for top-30 visits has up-to-date information on exactly who's captured the eye of Kansas City in recent days and weeks, broken down position-by-position. 

Offensive Line

• Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison: Harrison is one of the premier offensive tackle prospects in this year's draft class. He may not be available at pick No. 31 but if he somehow is, he'd be an ideal fit along the Chiefs' offensive line. 
• Maryland OT Jaelyn Duncan: Duncan, an impressive athlete, is on the lighter side for an offensive tackle and needs some work before he's ready to be a full-time starter. With that said, his ceiling is immense as a possible early Day Two pick. 
• Tennessee OT Darnell Wright: Wright, like Harrison, is firmly in the first-round conversation for tackles. He'd be a good pick by the Chiefs if available at the end of Day One. 
  
• Appalachian State OT Cooper Hodges: Hodges is undersized for a tackle but has 33-inch arms that could allow him to stay out on the outside of the offensive line. If not, he's an intriguing guard prospect who's beginning to garner a bit more buzz in the pre-draft process.  
• LSU OL Anthony Bradford: Bradford, who has a bit of experience at tackle, settled in at guard for LSU to close out his collegiate career. He tested well at the NFL Combine in strength but needs plenty of seasoning before being ready to contribute in a meaningful way at the next level. 
• Georgia OT Broderick Jones: Despite not being expected to be available at pick No. 31, Jones is visiting with the Chiefs ahead of the draft. Jones has a plus athletic profile and upside that rivals almost all other offensive tackles in this year's class. 

Wide Receiver

• TCU WR Quentin Johnston: Johnston is a physically gifted wideout with an intriguing athletic profile. He'd give the Chiefs something they don't already have in the receiver room and is likely a first-round pick. 
• SMU WR Rashee Rice: Rice is a well-built receiver who had some great athletic testing this spring. He is a dynamic boundary threat who, like Johnston, would bring a new element to the Chiefs' offense and offer some fun upside with Patrick Mahomes throwing him passes. 

Defensive Line

• Western Kentucky DT Brodric Martin: In his final season with the Hilltoppers, Martin recorded 22 pressures and played quality run defense. With that said, his athletic testing leaves a lot to be desired and he's more of a Day Three prospect than an early- or mid-round pick. 
• Toledo DL Desjuan Johnson: Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 285 pounds, Johnson was a stat-sheet stuffer for Toledo this past season. He's a plus athlete off the snap but faces an uphill battle to become a rotational contributor at his size. Nevertheless, he could also offer a bit of versatility if his weight remains around what he worked at during the East-West Shrine Bowl. 
• Stephen F. Austin EDGE BJ Thompson: Thompson appeared in the Arrowhead Report Chiefs Mock Draft 1.0. He's a quality athlete who doesn't fit what Steve Spagnuolo traditionally looks for in terms of weight at defensive end, although the rest of his profile is impressive. 
  
• Harvard EDGE Truman Jones: A bit of a late bloomer in the pre-draft process, Jones reportedly looked good at the Harvard pro day despite being undersized at defensive end. His fit with the Chiefs is questionable, but he remains a draftable prospect following a 2022 that saw him record six sacks and 13 tackles for loss. 
• Oregon EDGE DJ Johnson: When looking at his athletic testing at defensive end rather than linebacker, Johnson has a mixed bag of a profile. He played in 11 games for Oregon as a senior, totaling six sacks in the process. 
• Pittsburgh EDGE Deslin Alexandre: In his final collegiate season, Alexandre had 6.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks along the defensive line for Pitt. He'll look to get drafted after a five-year college career. 
• Iowa State EDGE Will McDonald: McDonald doesn't fit what Spagnuolo likes out of his defensive ends traditionally, and there's question about his value as a first-round pick. Nonetheless, the Chiefs are doing their due diligence by learning more about his draft profile as a speed rusher. 

Linebacker

• Tennessee LB Jeremy Banks: Banks was in the Arrowhead Report Chiefs Mock Draft 2.0. His age and size will probably limit him to being a late-round selection, but he has very good long speed and could be a special teams option early in his NFL career. 

Secondary

• South Carolina CB Cam Smith: Smith is in the conversation for being a first-round pick as a cornerback. One of the better defensive backs in this year's class, Smith is a competitive player with decent length, supreme confidence and quality ball skills. 
• Western Kentucky CB Kahlef Hailassie: Hailassie ran an outstanding three-cone and shared the field with Martin for two years. The former Hilltopper recorded 44 tackles with a pair of interceptions and 10 passes broken up this past season. 
• New Mexico S Jerrick Reed II: Reed spent the entirety of his college career playing for the Lobos, capping off his time there by recording 94 tackles and 11 passes broken up as a senior. He is undersized but had tremendous speed-testing grades at his pro day.
