Starting on Wednesday, we brought you our annual consensus draft prospect ranking based on lists from five sources: ESPN, Pro Football Focus, CBS Sports, Pro Football Network and Draftek. On Friday, we updated that list following the first round — and now with Day 3 in front of us, we’re taking our final look at the top 100 prospects still remaining.
Below the table, we’ll detail some hits (and misses) from Friday night’s picks.

Going into Saturday’s fourth round, four players expected to go in the second round remain available: cornerback Kelee Ringo of Georgia (ranked 38th), edge rusher Adetomiwa Adebawore of Northwestern (43rd) safety Antonio Johnson of Texas A&M (57th) and tackle Dawand Jones from Ohio St. (58th).
14 players expected to go in the third round also remain on the board — including tackle Blake Freeland of BYU (ranked 80th), edge rusher Isaiah McGuire of Missouri (90th) and wide receiver AT Perry of Wake Forest (92nd).
This might make you wonder if a large number of players have been selected much earlier than the rankings would have predicted — and that’s exactly what has happened. Through the first three rounds of the draft in 2022, the average pick was 4.6 spots ahead of expectation. Through the first three rounds in Kansas City, that figure is 13.5!
Five of the 102 players drafted so far were taken more than 100 spots earlier than their rankings would have suggested. Nine have been taken at least two rounds early and 18 were taken at least one round early.
So those who reported that the draft would be quite unpredictable — including Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer and NBC Sports’ Peter King — were exactly right.
And while it is true that Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has reached on two of his three picks, many other teams have been far worse. On average, Kansas City’ three selections have been made 10 picks earlier than predicted by our rankings. So far, 13 teams have higher averages — and eight of those are over twice as high as Kansas City’s!
Following the trades made before picking Rashee Rice and Wanya Morris, Kansas City goes into Day 3 with five selections remaining.
- Round 1, Pick 32 (31st overall): DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah
- Round 2, Pick 24* (55th overall): WR Rashee Rice
- Round 3, Pick 29** (92nd overall): OL Wanya Morris
- Round 4, Pick 32 (134th overall)
- Round 5, Pick 32 (166th overall)
- Round 6, Pick 1 (178th overall)
- Round 6, Pick 17* (194th overall)
- Round 7, Pick 33 (250th overall)
