The Great Kansas City Coin Flip: How Many Picks Did They REALLY Have in 2023?

Traded, Drafted, and Mysteriously Acquired: A Chief's Pick Pile-Up
The official story says the Chiefs started with seven picks in the 2023 draft. Three were their own, one was a compensatory pick (participation trophy for a tough season, maybe?), and the rest came from trades. But let's be real, folks, the NFL is a game of smoke and mirrors. There's always a chance a pick mysteriously appears under the couch cushions or magically materializes in a mid-draft trade.
Did Andy Reid pull off some last-minute deal with a janitor who just happened to find a lost sixth-round pick under a filing cabinet? We may never know.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
The Plot Thickens: Picks Disappearing Like Mahomes' Magic
Now, here's where things get interesting. The Chiefs also traded away two of their picks. A third-round compensatory pick? Poof! Gone. Their original sixth-round pick? Vanished like a magician's handkerchief.
Did they trade these picks for exotic snacks for the war room? Top-secret training manuals for exotic birds (Reid loves those things)? The world may never know.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
The Big Reveal: So, How Many Picks Did They End Up With?
Alright, alright, enough suspense. Here's the bottom line: The Kansas City Chiefs actually drafted with five picks in 2023. Three of their own, a leftover compensatory pick, and one they acquired through trade.
Not bad, not bad. But hey, if they can make a sixth-round pick appear out of thin air, who knows what they can do next year? Maybe they'll draft a whole new stadium.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
