Now that the NFL has finally released the compensatory picks, we have the complete order for the 2020 NFL draft.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ first three picks in the draft will go unchanged, but their selections in the fourth and fifth rounds will come a little later. The addition of compensatory picks following the third and fourth rounds will push back the Chiefs’ selections in the fourth and fifth rounds slightly.
Here is the updated draft order for Kansas City:
- Pick No. 32
- Pick No. 63 (via 49ers)
- Pick No. 96
- Pick No. 138 (previously 128)
- Pick No. 178 (previously 160)
The Chiefs received the 49ers second-round pick in the trade for LB Dee Ford. Kansas City sent Seattle their original second-round pick along with 2019’s first-round pick in the trade for DE Frank Clark. They also traded 2020’s sixth-round pick to the New York Jets for LB Darron Lee and 2020’s seventh-round selection to Miami for DB Jordan Lucas.

General manager Brett Veach has his work cut out for him with just five selections in this draft. The bar was raised after he came away with a great draft class in 2019. Luckily, three of his selections in 2020 will come within the top 100 picks, assuming he doesn’t trade down. Considering the history Veach has with trades, Kansas City will be exploring all options including trading up, down and for established players in the league.
The 2020 NFL draft will take place in Las Vegas from April 23-25.
