The Kansas City Chiefs will have their highest draft pick in years in the 2026 draft, but several week 18 games will effect just how high that pick is.
The Kansas City Chiefs season did not turn out how anyone in Chiefs Kingdom hoped it would.

The lone bright spot in an otherwise miserable season is that the Chiefs will have their highest draft slot in years.
