Kansas City Chiefs draft picks 2021: Round-by-round selections

Here is a 2021 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Kansas City Chiefs:

Round 2 (No. 58 overall, from Ravens) - Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri: The two-time all-SEC performer is short at 5-11 and 237 pounds – so were London Fletcher and Zach Thomas – but brings thump and range from just down the road to the AFC champs, who could use both at the second level. Draft tracker

Round 2 (63) - Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma: Kansas City has not re-signed Austin Reiter, the starting center the past two seasons. Enter the two-time Big 12 offensive lineman of the year, who's worked with Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray and now gets a chance to beat out veteran Austin Blythe on a revamped O-line that was the Chiefs' downfall in Super Bowl 55.
