Meet the 6 new Chiefs players

The Kansas City Chiefs made six picks this weekend as part of the 2021 NFL Draft. Kansas City general manager Brett Veach remained patient throughout the three days, trading up only once — in the fifth round to select Duke tight end Noah Gray.

Kansas City’s trade with the New York Jets to take Gray saw the Chiefs surrender picks 175 and 207 for 162 (Gray) and 226.

Here are your six new Chiefs:

Second-round pick (No. 58): Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton

Bolton is a 6-foot, 232-pound linebacker out of the University of Missouri.
