In February, after the loss to the Bengals, Chiefs GM Brett Veach vowed to fix the defensive line. Since that announcement, he has added only two pieces: Edge George Karlaftis in RD1 and free agent DT Taylor Stallworth, a solid depth player on his third team.
Melvin Ingram and Jarran Reed, meanwhile, moved on. The Chiefs could also save $21.8M by cutting Frank Clark before June 1. (They won't, but 2023 is another story.) In next year's draft, the Chiefs will expend at least two high draft picks on the defensive front.

Other storylines impacting the Chiefs 2023 draft:
- The NFL Draft comes to KC!
- The Chiefs should have 12 selections next year.
- Now hiring: Agent for LT Orlando Brown.
- Steve Spagnuolo is in the hot seat.

CHIEFS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
