The 2025 NFL Draft concluded on Saturday, and the reigning AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs have made a few moves following it.

The Chiefs made seven selections in the draft, and they also dropped some players to make room for the rookies. Another reason they would cut players would be to allow the team to pick up any undrafted free agents that they feel could help them in the long run.

The players who were let go were tight ends Anthony Firkser and Baylor Cupp, linebacker Shaun Bradley, guard McKade Mettauer, and safety Jason Taylor II. Three of the picks the Chiefs made were an offensive linemen, a linebacker, and a defensive back, which will help replace the players they cut.

Firkser and Cupp appeared in a combined four games for the Chiefs in 2024, as the team has their tight end position locked up with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. The other three players did not appear in any games this past season.

The most notable selections the Chiefs made in the 2025 draft were Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons, Tennessee defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, and a new weapon in Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals.

The Chiefs are coming off of a disappointing 40-22 loss in the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles. As a result, they will be hoping that the young talent they selected in this year’s draft will help them get back to the big game and redeem themselves.
