Cornerback is seen as a need for the Chiefs heading into the draft and they spent some time with one of the top prospects at the position this week.

The Kansas City Chiefs are zeroing in on a clear draft priority: cornerback. In a move that underscores their focus, the team hosted one of the position's top prospects this week, former Tennessee standout Colton Hood.

Hood, who has also drawn interest from the Jets, Cowboys, Seahawks, Texans, and Raiders, brings a versatile college resume. After stints at Auburn and Colorado, he finished his collegiate career at Tennessee, where he made a significant impact. Last season for the Volunteers, he racked up 50 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and showcased a nose for the endzone with both an interception and a fumble returned for touchdowns.

This visit comes at a crucial time for the Chiefs' secondary. The offseason saw the departure of key players Trent McDuffie (via trade) and Jaylen Watson (in free agency), both now with the Los Angeles Rams. While Kansas City has added veterans Kader Kohou and Kaiir Elam to a group that includes Kristian Fulton and Nohl Williams, securing a dynamic, playmaking corner like Hood in the draft could be the final piece to solidify their defense for another championship run.
