If you're like us, then you're often looking ahead to future offseasons in order to see how the coming days of the Kansas City Chiefs might play out even as we're also interested in watching them week to week during the regular season. Using tools like Over the Cap or NFL Draft sites, it's fun to go over mock scenarios, analyze the salary cap, and project free agency.

Coming into the offseason, the order for the 2024 NFL Draft will be affected by a lot of the aggressive moves made inside of last year's edition. The Chiefs moved up in the second, third, and fourth rounds to grab SMU wide receiver Rashee Rice, Oklahoma offensive tackle Wanya Morris, and Virginia Tech defensive back Chamarri Conner.

Fortunately, while Veach's moves up cost the Chiefs some future picks, they also gained one in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round. The Chiefs were willing to move down from No. 178 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft and Jerry Jones offered up a future fifth in exchange.

Before we look at what the NFL Draft order would resemble following Week 4, let's review the projected picks for the Chiefs including compensatory picks (per Tankathon).
