With all 257 picks determined, the Kansas City Chiefs ’ draft class is complete with seven selections: DAY 1 On Day 1, the Chiefs were part of the first trade of the weekend, sending Picks 9, 74 , and 148 to the Cleveland Browns for Pick 6.
General manager Brett Veach went and got their guy. Round 1 | No. 6 | LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane Round 1 | No.
29 | Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods DAY 2 With no more third-round pick, all eyes were on the Chiefs to trade down and regain some of the draft capital lost the previous night. Instead, the team stayed put and was bold in choosing an unorthodox, but high-potential fit at defensive end. Round 2 | No.
40 | Oklahoma edge rusher R Mason Thomas DAY 3 The Chiefs went through three picks and two days of the draft without addressing the offense with a selection, and the organization picked up where it left off on Saturday morning by taking a second cornerback, Jadon Canady, although he has experience playing all over the secondary It does feel like Veach deserves a hat tip for bolstering the defense as much as possible, then finishing the class with a couple of intriguing playmakers and a suddenly underrated quarterback in Garrett Nussmeier. Round 4 | No. 109 | Oregon cornerback Jadon Canady Round 5 | No.
