KANSAS CITY, Mo. — While the Kansas City Chiefs traded away their 2021 first round pick in the NFL Draft, there was still a lot of intrigue around the first 32 selections.
The KC EndZone team of Rob Collins, Harold Kuntz and Robert Rimpson broke down every development Thursday night. Rewatch the whole NFL Draft special in the video player above.
The Chiefs used the first-round selection to bring left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to Kansas City from Baltimore, as general manager Brett Veach rounded out his offseason makeover of the offensive line.
Brown Jr. joins free agents Joe Thuney, Kyle Long and Austin Blythe as new additions for the 2021 season to help protect Patrick Mahomes and establish the Chiefs rushing attack.
