The 2025 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and the Kansas City Chiefs are ready to make strategic moves that will help them stay competitive. After a season of highs and lows, where the offense solidified its strength but the defense still showed certain weaknesses, the priority now should be to strengthen the defensive line. Despite having an undisputed star like Chris Jones, the lack of consistency in the pass rush was evident in some key games. This is the moment for the Chiefs to target a defensive prospect with the potential to change the dynamics of their defense next season.
The focus should be on recruiting talent that complements Jones on the line. While the Chiefs’ defense has been effective in several areas, the inability to generate consistent pressure has been an ongoing issue. To take the next step and become a truly dominant defense, the franchise needs someone who can not only back up Jones but also consistently create disruption and make life difficult for opposing quarterbacks. As the draft approaches, one name that has gained traction on prospect lists is Derrick Harmon, a defensive tackle from the University of Oregon.

The prospect the Chiefs need on defense
Derrick Harmon could be the key piece to revitalize the Chiefs’ defensive line. With an imposing build and a natural ability to dominate at the point of attack, Harmon has the potential to wreak havoc in the interior of the opposing offensive line. His size, combined with his natural strength, allows him to control the ground game while also generating pressure on the quarterback, making him the perfect complement to Jones’ power. While Harmon may not be expected to rack up sacks, his ability to destabilize the quarterback and create opportunities for his teammates makes him an ideal fit for the Chiefs’ defense.
What makes Harmon even more appealing is his versatility. He is capable of playing multiple positions along the defensive line, allowing him to adapt to various schemes and formations. This kind of flexibility is exactly what the Chiefs need to improve their ability to pressure more effectively, without relying solely on their star, Jones. If Harmon joins the mix, Kansas City’s defense could take a significant step forward in its evolution, adding another layer of depth and strength to the unit.
The Kansas City Chiefs have the opportunity to make a major leap with the right pick in the 2025 Draft. If they decide to draft Derrick Harmon, they could be securing a prospect who wouldn’t just fill a void on the defensive line but could also transform it into a much more formidable unit. With Harmon alongside Chris Jones, the Chiefs would have a devastating duo on the defensive front, giving them a stronger edge in their pursuit of a championship.
