The Great Kansas City Draft Caper: How Many Picks Did They REALLY Have?
Ah, the Kansas City Chiefs. A team known for their explosive offense, their passionate fans, and their general manager, Brett Veach, who seems to be a master of navigating the NFL Draft like a jungle gym. But this year, the question on everyone's mind was: just how many picks did they actually have?

The Plot Thickens (With Trades)
Let's face it, keeping track of draft picks can be harder than remembering your grocery list after a particularly potent batch of grandma's brownies. This year, the Chiefs were like ninjas, trading picks left and right. They acquired an extra first-rounder from the Buffalo Bills (bless their generous hearts) but also dealt away a couple of their own. It was enough to make your head spin!
So, how many picks did they start with? Well, that all depends on how you count. Their original haul included their natural first-rounder (which eventually ended up being number 28 thanks to the Bills trade). But then there were the later round picks, the ones they might have traded away...or maybe not? It was a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes himself!
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
The Big Reveal (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't One)
Finally, the dust settled, the trades were done, and the truth was unveiled. The Kansas City Chiefs entered the 2024 draft with a cool seven picks! That's right, seven whole opportunities to snag some future superstars (or at least some decent backups).
Here's the breakdown, folks:
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
- Round 1: Pick No. 28 (acquired from Buffalo)
- Round 2: Pick No. 63 (original pick)
- Round 3: Pick No. 95 (acquired from Buffalo)
- Round 4: Picks No. 131 (original) & No. 133 (acquired from Buffalo)
- Round 5: Pick No. 159 (acquired from Dallas)
- Round 6: Pick No. 211 (acquired from San Francisco)
- Round 7: Pick No. 248 (acquired from Buffalo)
See? Seven glorious picks! Enough to fill their war room with nervous anticipation and enough Chiefs jerseys to clothe a small village.

How to Draft Like a Champion (Chiefs Edition - Not Guaranteed)
So you're itching to emulate the Kansas City Chiefs' drafting prowess? Here are some helpful (and slightly sarcastic) tips:
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
How to Trade Like Brett Veach:
- Develop a poker face that would make Lady Gaga jealous.
- Learn to speak fluent "draft pick speak." Phrases like "intriguing young prospect" and "future Hall of Famer potential" are key.
- Always be willing to take a gamble. Sometimes those late-round steals can become your biggest stars (or at least generate some decent trade bait for next year).
How to Look Busy and Important During the Draft:
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
- Wear a suit. Even if it's happening virtually, a suit screams "authority" and "I know what I'm doing" (even if you don't).
- Pace dramatically. This shows everyone you're a man (or woman) of action, constantly strategizing and making tough decisions.
- Talk on the phone in hushed tones. Even if you're just ordering pizza, it creates an air of mystery and intrigue.
How to Celebrate Like a Super Bowl Champ (Even if You Didn't Win):
- Stock up on confetti. You never know when a celebratory moment might arise (like finally getting your top choice in the 6th round).
- Practice your high fives. A good high five can really show your team spirit and enthusiasm.
- Prepare a victory speech. Even if it's just for yourself in the mirror, a good speech can solidify your image as a champion (in your mind, at least).
Remember, these are just tips, folks. There's no guaranteed formula for drafting success. But hey, at least you'll look good trying!
