On Friday, the NFL announced this year’s compensatory draft selections, given to teams to mitigate players lost in free agency the previous offseason.
The Kansas City Chiefs will receive an additional fifth round pick (the 172nd overall selection). 34 total choices were awarded to 14 teams.
Qualifying players signed in free agency negate potential extra selections for players lost. The breakdown of the process counted the following six players lost from the Chiefs’ 2022 squad in the formula: tackles Orlando Brown Jr. and Andrew Wylie, wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, safety Juan Thornhill, and defensive tackle Khalen Saunders.
