The fourth-rounder comes as a result of defensive back Kendall Fuller signing with the Washington Football Team. The fifth-rounder comes from defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah signing with the Miami Dolphins.
Here are the Chiefs’ now-eight picks in the 2021 NFL Draft:
Round 1 – No. 31
Round 2 – No. 63
Round 3 – No. 94
Round 4 – No. 136
Round 4 – No. 144 (compensatory)
Round 5 – No. 175
Round 5 – No. 181 (compensatory)
Round 6 – No. 207 (Acquired from Miami in exchange for RB DeAndre Washington)
Note: In the normal order, the Chiefs would have a pick at 95. They will pick at 94 because the New England Patriots’ 77th pick will be forfeited. In addition, the NFL’s original press release erroneously gave an extra special compensatory pick to the San Francisco 49ers in Round 3. Therefore, earlier versions of this article showed Chiefs pick numbers after Round 3 to be one selection later.
