For the Chiefs to have been a dynasty, they needed to draft well and protect the quarterback. The 2021 NFL Draft is proof of that, as it was a very good class for the organization. After 5 years lets reflect on the Kansas City Chiefs 2021 class.<\/p>\n
What Happened To The Cheifs 1st Round Pick?<\/p>\n
The Kansas City Chiefs did not make a pick in Round 1 for a good reason. That pick was traded in order to acquire OT Orlando Brown Jr<\/a>. He was holding out and wanted a new contract, and the Chiefs sent an offer that the Baltimore Ravens could not refuse. The Details of the trade are below<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKansas City Chiefs Acquired <\/p>\n OT Orlando Brown Jr<\/p>\n 2021 2nd Round Pick (58th Overall)<\/p>\n 2022 6th Round Pick<\/p>\n The Two Picks Above Turned Into LB Nick Bolton And OG\u00a0Darian Kinnard.\u00a0<\/p>\n Baltimore Ravens Acquired<\/p>\n 2021 1st Round Pick (31st Overall)<\/p>\n 2021 3rd Round Pick (78th Overall)<\/p>\n 2021 4th Round Pick (136th Overall)<\/p>\n 2022 5th Round Pick<\/p>\n Fun fact: the picks above that the Ravens got became Odafe \u201cJayson\u201d Oweh <\/a>(31st Overall), OG Ben Cleveland (78th Overall), CB Marco Wilson (136th Overall), and Marcus McKethan\u00a0(2022 5th Round Pick).<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRound 2, Pick 58 \u2013 LB Nick Bolton (Missouri)<\/p>\n The first pick the Chiefs used was on Nick Bolton, and it was a phenomenal pick. Bolton is one of the key pieces on that Kansas City Chiefs defense. The stats don\u2019t lie in general, and he was phenomenal in 2023 when he made 180 combined tackles<\/a>, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 3 pass deflections in a single season. This was a slam dunk A+ pick, and Bolton deserves that 3-year $45 million contract<\/a>.<\/p>\n Round 2, Pick 63 \u2013 C Creed Humphrey (Oklahoma) \u2013 Grade A+<\/p>\n
