The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the few teams to have made a move at the NFL’s trade deadline.
Many figured that Kansas City would be buyers at the trade deadline, but Brett Veach managed to shock the Chiefs Kingdom, trading away a player in exchange for draft capital. RB DeAndre Washington was traded to the Miami Dolphins along with a seventh-round draft pick. In return, the Chiefs received a 2021 sixth-round draft pick. Though, the Dolphins say there are some conditions that must be met in order for the pick swap to occur.
Here is a look at the updated draft capital that Kansas City has for the 2021 NFL Draft if those conditions are met:
- 1st round, pick ??
- 2nd round, pick ??
- 3rd round, pick ??
- 4th round, pick ??
- 5th round, pick ??
- 5th round, pick ?? (compensatory)
- 5th round, pick ?? (compensatory)
- 6th round, pick ?? (via Miami Dolphins)
This trade helps the Chiefs recoup the sixth-round pick that they sent to the Tennessee Titans in order to move up and select BoPete Keyes in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. They are still set to receive eight draft picks in 2021, but now they’ll get their last pick a bit earlier on Day 3.
They’re currently projected to receive two compensatory picks in the fifth round of the draft according to Over The Cap. That brings their total on fifth-round picks to three. It’s good news, given the fact that Kansas City hit on fifth-round draft pick Mike Danna just this past year.
If the season ended today, the Chiefs would own the No. 30 pick in the first round of the draft according to Tankathon.
