It is far too early to tell how the 2027 NFL Draft will play out, but pundits are already speculating about who the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> may take in the first round of the Annual Player Selection Meeting next April.<\/p>\n

According to Athlon Sports\u2019 Luke Easterling,<\/a> the Chiefs<\/a> could opt to pick Louisiana State University tight end Trey\u2019Dez Green with the No. 25 selection in Round 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cTravis Kelce\u00a0is an annual rental at this point, and it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see one of the most prolific tight ends in NFL history call it a career after this season,\u201d Easterling wrote in a recent mock draft<\/a>. \u201cGreen is a towering target with impressive athleticism for his size, giving him tons of upside as a pass-catching weapon at the next level. He could be a dangerous addition to a Kansas City offense that already has some explosive playmakers for\u00a0Patrick Mahomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2025, tallying 33 receptions for 433 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025. The Zachary, Louisiana native will need to build on his outstanding sophomore campaign to continue trending as a potential first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
