Chris Clark· Feb 26, 2026

Recapping the show's Chiefs mock draft, Clark has Kansas City trading back in the first round for tackle Spencer Fano and taking two defensive ends, Akin Mesidore and Gabe Yawkes, in the second round. At pick 116 after a trade back, he leans toward interior defensive lineman Tim Keenan.

“I guess I would lean towards Keenan just because I think that they really need interior deep to a lot.”
