Getty Which division rival is the greatest threat to the Kansas City Chiefs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft?
The Kansas City Chiefs have dominated the AFC West over the past decade, winning the division eight straight times going back to the 2016 campaign. And with each of their division rivals changing coaching staffs in recent years, the AFC West appears to be the Chiefs to lose until proven otherwise.
That brings us to KC’s greatest draft “nightmare” in 2024, according to the opinion of Bleacher Report analyst Brad Gagnon on April 19.
“[Kansas City’s worst draft scenario is that] the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos both land high-potential quarterbacks in Round 1, immediately making life a lot more difficult in this division,” Gagnon voiced.
For most teams, this draft nightmare involved potential targets being gone or bust prospects that might be selected. But with the Chiefs, there are very few scenarios that prevent them from being a Super Bowl contender, so Gagnon’s choice actually makes a lot of sense.
The biggest threat to Patrick Mahomes and KC is the next elite quarterback joining the division — whoever that may be. Remember, Mahomes was only selected 10th overall in the draft. In 2024, the Broncos and Raiders hold pick Nos. 12 and 13.
