Chiefs Draft Peter Woods, New Aaron Donald?

0:00It's April 24th, from breaking news to Sunday matchups. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI. The Kansas City Chiefs just snagged offensive tackle Peter Woods with their 29th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, there. Second first round selection. Pundits are hyping him up with comparisons to all-time great Aaron Donald, which is massive praise for a guy who hasn't even suited up in the pros yet. Woods spent three years at Clemson, suiting up in 35 games with 84 tackles and 5 sacks. As 6.2 and 298 pounds, he plays the three technique spot and earned first team all ACC honors last year. He spired up about it all, calling Donald his favorite player ever and saying he models his game after him. Woods also shouts out Quentin Williams and Jeffrey Simmons, but he's smart enough to know he can learn from Chief Star Chris Jones right away. This marks the second straight year, the Chiefs dropped the high pick on a defensive tackle, following Omar Norman Lot in the 2025.

1:02Second round. Woods joins him, Jones, and Kyra's Tonga in what looks like a stacked room of front. Woods wasn't shot by the call, thanks to all the pre-draft chats with Kansas City. He felt it coming at pick 29. Now he's ready to bring that talent and leadership to make waves on defense.
