The Kansas City Chiefs will head into the 2025 NFL Draft needing to address a lot of areas of their defense and offense. The Chiefs sit in an unfamiliar area this offseason because of the players they lost in free agency on both sides of the ball. The Chiefs want to have an elite offense and defense again, and they will need a good draft class to do that in the 2025 NFL season.
On the defensive side, they will need to address the linebacker position, given the players who will not be returning from last year's team. The Chiefs know how important it is to have a linebacker that can read the offense, help stop the run, and be good in pass coverage. In this draft the Chiefs can find it and it does not have to be in the first or second rounds.
With the draft being one week away, the Chiefs are getting their final draft boards up with players they want to go after and are bringing in the final prospects in the building to see what they bring to the franchise both on and off the field. One prospect they recently met with was linebacker Brandon George out of the University of Pittsburgh. The Chiefs are doing their homework at the linebacker position, and George is a player they believe will fit in with the defense and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's defense.
George would be a good addition for the Chiefs in the draft. He can learn the defense right away and learn from linebacker Nick Bolton. He is a good piece that the Chiefs can build into a good starter in this league.
"Inside linebacker who boasts a burly frame and outstanding pro-day testing numbers. George was a mainstay on special teams during his six-year career, spending only one season (2024) as a full-time starter. He’s inconsistent in making reads and fitting up the run properly, but he’s big and strong.
He can leverage his gaps when he’s in position," said NFL analyst Lance Zierlein. "He’s a build-up runner who lacks the necessary burst to patrol from sideline to sideline, and he’s a liability in coverage. George’s testing, measurables, and special-teams experience might appeal to teams, but likely as an undrafted free agent.
