The Kansas City Chiefs started Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft with eight picks, and after a savvy trade that moved them down just one spot and acquired Josh Simmons, they've added an extra pick.
It shouldn't come as a major surprise after Brett Veach emphasized during his pre-draft press conference that the team needed to add depth in this draft. Having a voluminous number of picks allows the team to do that.
Below is an updated list of the Chiefs' draft picks following the trade, along with details on the remainder of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Where: Lambeau Field & Titletown District - Green Bay, Wisconsin
When: Thursday, April 24 - Saturday, April 26
Rounds 2-3: Friday, April 25, at 6 p.m. CT (NFL Network, NFL+, the NFL Channel, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes)
Rounds 4-7: Saturday, April 26, at 11:00 a.m. CT (NFL Network, NFL+, the NFL Channel, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes)
After Rounds 2 and 3, we'll hear from Chiefs Senior Director of Player Personnel Mike Bradway. On the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft, the team will make area scouts available to media members to get some details about draft picks. All drafted players will also be made available to media members shortly after being selected.
