Here is a 2023 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs:

Round 1 (No. 31 overall) — Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State: The 6-3, 255-pounder had 19½ sacks and 25½ TFLs over the past two seasons and becomes a bookend to 2022 first-rounder George Karlaftis on a team that let DE Frank Clark go after winning Super Bowl 57. Nice local touch for KC by snatching the two-time, All-Big 12 star from up the road in Manhattan. Draft tracker

Round 2 (55, from Vikings through Lions) — Rashee Rice, WR, SMU: The champs take a 6-1, 204-pounder who could step in where JuJu Smith-Schuster left off. Rice exploded for 96 catches and 1,355 yards last year with 10 TDs. He joins a deep receiving corps that already had Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. Draft tracker

Round 3 (92, from Bengals) — Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma: A 6-5, 307-pounder, he could fight for a starting job for the reigning champs, who said goodbye to both of their starting tackles from last season. Draft tracker
