In talks about the NFL Draft and the Kansas City Chiefs, Utah left tackle Caleb Lomu's name keeps coming up.

Peter Schrager, who hosts The Schrager Hour, said that the Chiefs would pick Caleb Lomu with the 29th pick.

"It's not gonna wow the folks at home and Chiefs fans might not love this, but with the 29th overall pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select Caleb Lomu," Schrager said.

The Chief drafted Josh Simmons a year ago, but there is still some uncertainty about him. Lomu's Utah team went 11-2 overall and 7-2 in the Big 12 in 2025.

Schrager said that Lomu wasn't the most well-known player in this class. Well, that honor goes to his teammate Spencer Fano. 

However, he said that Lomu was still a first-round talent who didn't get as much attention.

That goes perfectly with what the Chiefs believe. Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith were never big-name picks, but they both became important parts of the team.

If Lomu follows that pattern, the 29th pick isn't a stretch; it's just the Chiefs using a method that has worked before.

Chiefs Eye Kevin Coleman Jr. with Two First-Round Picks in 2026 NFL Draft

The Chiefs are still focused on the trenches, but with two first-round picks, they're looking at more options as draft night approaches.

Kevin Coleman Jr., a wide receiver from Missouri, has been getting a lot of attention lately. He had a great moment at the Chiefs' annual Local Pro Day.

Coleman talked about his experience on the Up and Adams Show with Kay Adams:

"It was a local pro day, but it was amazing. It was amazing just stepping on where, like, my campus was, stepping into the facility, and just talking to Andy Reid, Coach Reid. When I walked up to coach Reid, I introduced myself. It kind of shocked me when he told me, like, Hey, I already know who you are. And I'm like, this legend. Just know who I am. Just one step closer. So just keep working," he said.

Coleman also described the impact of simply being in Andy Reid's presence.

"He was right there, but just seeing him, because I was just there watching local pro day. So because I've been doing anything, I'm just watching coach up the quarterbacks, sit back and watch the guys. I don't even know how to describe him. It was just like a wow moment for me," he added later.

Last season, he scored a touchdown for 732 yards in 13 games for the Tigers. Although the numbers don't look that inspiring, Coleman was a workhorse for Missouri, leading with 66 catches.

With draft night closing in, the former Tigers standout is letting his work speak for itself and making clear that suiting up for the Chiefs is something he genuinely wants.
