2024 NFL Draft: Every first-round pick in Kansas City Chiefs history


The Kansas City Chiefs are the NFL’s newest dynasty after securing back-to-back Super Bowl championships in 2022 and 2023.

Few teams in league history have found the kind of sustained success that Kansas City has attained in recent seasons, and the Chiefs’ utter dominance can be attributed to their ability to identify and acquire talent through the draft.

This year, Kansas City will have the No. 32 selection in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, a spot that the Chiefs have grown accustomed to occupying. Last time they held the last pick in Round 1, Kansas City chose running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who helped carry the load for the Chiefs offense through two of their three Super Bowl wins in the Patrick Mahomes era.

Check out every other player selected by Kansas City in the first round of the NFL draft throughout Chiefs history below to see what kind of company the team’s 2024 pick will find themselves in:

Taylor Swift lip readers decode her message after Kansas City Chiefs win

Taylor Swift lip readers decode her message after Kansas City Chiefs win


Taylor Swift’s fans have decoded a message that she shared with fellow attendees after she watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s NFL team secure a win on Monday.

The pop star has been seen cheering on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce and his teammates at a number of games, since they went public with their romance in September 2023. Earlier this year, Swift was on hand as the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

For his part, Kelce has also been seen among the crowd at several stops on Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which took her around the world for more than 18 months and saw her wrap the U.S. leg on November 3 in Indianapolis.

One day after she performed at her last U.S. Eras show, Swift was on hand to support Kelce as his team secured 30-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In video footage shared on X, Swift was seen waving and blowing kisses to game attendees, who turned around to greet her in her private suite at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium.

At one point, Swift was seen dramatically mouthing a statement to fans as she walked in the VIP suite.

A Swift fan account suggested that the singer was expressing feeling the pressure, on behalf of her partner. Decoding her statement, a caption from the account read: “Taylor after the game, ‘Stressful!’”

At the Week 9 matchup, Swift was joined by her brother, Austin Swift, and her mother, Andrea Swift, who was photographed wearing a black jacket emblazoned with the words, “In my Chiefs Era”.

Taylor Swift sported a vintage Chiefs jacket, which she teamed with black denim shorts and a pair of knee-high boots.

Kelce’s family members were also in attendance, including his mother, Donna Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, who was accompanied by his wife, Kylie Kelce.

Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was also seen in the VIP suite.

Kelce has supported Taylor Swift at her shows. A video of the athlete leaving his girlfriend’s second Indianapolis show, while being followed by a camera crew recently went viral, strengthening theories that the pop star is filming a documentary about her tour.

This isn’t the only clip of Kelce supporting his girlfriend that has gone viral. A video on TikTok showed the tight end smiling and dancing to “So High School” alongside Taylor Swift’s mom.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s support of her partner last season brought a flood of media attention—much to the exasperation of some football fans.

“I’m just there to support Travis,” the singer told Time in late 2023. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p****** off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Addressing the cameras often panning her way, Swift said: “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when [the] camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

“Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift added. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

The GOP expects to keep Kansas' open House seat. Democratic Rep. Davids looks tough to beat

The GOP expects to keep Kansas' open House seat. Democratic Rep. Davids looks tough to beat


TOPEKA, Kan. — Republicans expected a former Kansas attorney general’s political comeback in Tuesday’s election to keep an open U.S. House seat in GOP hands while the party faced a tougher challenge in trying to oust the only Democrat in the state’s congressional delegation.

Republican Derek Schmidt sought the 2nd Congressional District seat held by retiring two-term Republican Rep. Jake LaTurner. Schmidt, who served three terms as attorney general, was coming off a narrow loss in the 2022 governor’s race and faced Nancy Boyda, making her own comeback bid as the last Democrat to hold the seat.

In the 3rd District in the Kansas City area, Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids faced Republican Prasanth Reddy, a doctor and former vice president of two medical research companies. Most of the district’s voters are in suburbs that have been friendly to Davids.

In the state’s two other districts, Republican Reps. Tracey Mann and Ron Estes were expected to win reelection comfortably.

Democrats have held the 2nd District seat previously, but not since Boyda served a single, two-year term and lost her race for reelection in 2008. LaTurner won both of his two terms by about 15 percentage points and would have likely cruised to victory again, but he announced in April that he wanted to spend more time with his children.

Schmidt is often affable in public, and he worked early in his career for two moderate Republicans, U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker and Gov. Bill Graves, before serving in the state Senate and being elected attorney general in 2010. That’s created lingering distrust among hard-right Republicans.

But Schmidt easily won a five-person primary this year — partly because former President Donald Trump declared in a social media endorsement post that Schmidt was “An America First Patriot” and, “HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

In the 3rd District, Davids gained national attention when she unseated a Republican incumbent in 2018 as a Native American, lesbian and former mixed martial arts fighter. Republicans still lump her in with the most liberal members of Congress. Her vocal support of abortion rights helps in her district, but she’s also positioned herself as a business-friendly and pragmatic centrist.

Advertisement

The key to a 3rd District victory is heavily suburban Johnson County, the state’s most populous county. Trump’s support has waned there since his victory in the 2016 presidential race, hurting Republicans, while Davids’ margins of victory have grown.

The 1st District that Mann represents includes the liberal northeastern Kansas enclave of Lawrence, home to the main University of Kansas campus, but its influence can’t overcome the GOP’s strength in the rest of the district covering the state’s western third and much of central Kansas. Mann is a former Kansas lieutenant governor who’s had no trouble winning his two previous terms.

His Democratic opponent was Paul Buskirk, an academic counselor and adviser for student athletes at the University of Kansas.

The 4th District of south-central Kansas is centered on Estes’ hometown of Wichita, and he’s a former two-term state treasurer. He’s held the seat since winning a special election in 2017 to replace Mike Pompeo, who was appointed by Trump to be CIA director and later U.S. secretary of state.

His Democratic opponent is Esau Freeman, a painter and union leader who is best known for advocating the legalization of marijuana.

How to watch the Kansas City Chiefs game tonight: Free live stream


KANSAS CITY, Missouri — The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs will look to move to 8-0 today in a Monday Night Football matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The game will air on ESPN and ABC, with the top crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call.

It is the second time for both teams on Monday Night Football this season. The game will kickoff at 8:15 p.m. Eastern.

Several streaming services will broadcast the Nov. 4 game live, and you can watch on Fubo (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).

The Chiefs are still trying to avoid their first loss, as MVP favorite — quarterback Patrick Mahomes — has helped push the Chiefs to this point. Along with a stellar defense, Kansas City has allowed just 20 or more points in three of its seven games.

The Buccaneers are in perhaps the polar opposite position. Wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans have suffered long-term injuries, with Godwin notably out for the season. They’ve also lost two-straight games, including three of four.

Check out a complete rundown of NFL Week 9 action, including the schedule, predictions, previews, TV information and more.

Chiefs – Buccaneers Matchup Preview

The Chiefs are riding high atop the AFC and NFL standings with a dominant start to the season. They’re looking for a three-peat, and appear well on their way to being one of the AFC’s top seeds in the playoffs.

The Buccaneers are in some big time trouble, as they bring a 4-4 record into Kansas City. Aside from a 51-27 win over the Saints on Oct. 13, they’ve won just one game since Sept. 29.

Chiefs – Buccaneers Last Game Recap

The Chiefs won, again, over an AFC West foe, while the Buccaneers dropped another disappointing game against the Falcons.
