This move will help the Chiefs balance out their battery of picks on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL draft. Before making this deal with the Eagles, Kansas City only had four picks to make on the final day of the Annual Player Selection Meeting, three of which were set to be made in the seventh round.

The Eagles were willing to sacrifice one of their many picks to snag Jihaad Campbell, and the Chiefs added a fifth-round pick and still got the coveted Josh Simmons.
