The Kansas City Chiefs selected California CB Nohl Williams with the No. 85 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Williams made a name for himself this season as a ball-hawking cornerback, leading the country with seven interceptions. He has good hands, reads the quarterback's eyes well to anticipate throws and tracks the ball like a wide receiver.

The Kansas City Chiefs started Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft with eight picks, and after a savvy trade that moved them down just one spot and acquired Josh Simmons, they've added an extra pick. It shouldn't come as a major surprise after Brett Veach emphasized during his pre-draft press conference that the team needed to add depth in this draft.
