In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs made strategic moves to strengthen their team by trading up and selecting key players. The Chiefs acquired the 133rd pick from Buffalo, which they used to draft Washington State safety Jaden Hicks. Hicks, noted for his performance with 6 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, and 6 pass breakups, was considered the best safety in his class by analyst Dane Brugler. Additionally, the Chiefs selected wide receiver Xavier Worthy with the 28th pick in the first round and offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia with the 63rd pick in the second round. This draft marks the third consecutive year a player from Washington State has been selected in the NFL draft.
