Updated Chiefs draft picks after DeAndre Hopkins trade

It feels like it's been years of wishing and hoping for Kansas City Chiefs fans, but the Tyreek Hill trade isn't that far in the past just yet.

Still, fans have been wondering if the team would ever go out and get another big name wide receiver for Patrick Mahomes or if this offense would continue riding the shoulders of their future Hall of Fame quarterback as he navigates a wide receiver room full of second-tier options.

That all perceivably changed on Wednesday morning, though, as the Chiefs went out and made a trade to acquire wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a fifth-round pick. That fifth-round pick could turn into a fourth, though, based on conditions.

There have been plenty of different reactions to the deal on social media, from fans and media alike. But, for those literal fans wondering just where the Chiefs' draft picks stand after the Hopkins trade, let's take a look at the full list.

Chiefs 2025 draft picks

• Round 1
• Round 2
• Round 3
• Round 3 (via TEN in L'Jarius Sneed trade)
• Round 4
• Round 5 (could become a 4th—see below)
• Round 76 (via NYJ in Mecole Hardman trade)

To clarify the above list, once again, the Chiefs' fourth rounder could end up going to the Titans by way of the Hopkins trade if certain conditions are met. In that case, the Chiefs then still have a fifth-round pick.

For additional context, the Chiefs' sixth and seventh-round selections had previously been traded as well. The Chiefs dealt a sixth to the Jets for Mecole Hardman and a 7th. The Chiefs also dealt a 7th round choice to the Arizona Cardinals in a preseason deal for Cam Thomas.

What are the conditions for the DeAndre Hopkins trade?

The conditions for this trade are pretty interesting. The Chiefs will end up surrendering a fourth rounder, instead, if Hopkins meets both playing time conditions and makes a Super Bowl appearance with Kansas City.

I'd say that's a pretty fair deal, no?

The Chiefs get an opportunity at a three-peat, Hopkins gets a chance at winning his first Super Bowl, finally, and all Kansas City has to do is flip that fifth-rounder to a fourth—pretty sweet deal.

So far on the season, Hopkins had yet to truly become a focal point in Tennessee's offense, which is something he'll likely do in Kansas City from the get-go. Between coming back from a minor injury and the quarterback play being sporadic (at best) in Tennessee, it's been a slow start for the veteran wideout.

Now, there's no motivation like going from a losing franchise to one like the Chiefs. Hopkins just pulled a complete 180 with this trade. There likely wasn't another team he'd have rather gone to than the Chiefs, and now, he'll get a real shot at winning that ring.
