ESPN recently released a list of the best all-time NFL Draft picks at every slot, featuring 11 players drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. The list, which spans over 50 years of draft history, includes notable names from the Chiefs' roster.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was highlighted as the No. 10 pick. According to ESPN's Ben Solak, "Our first active player is Mahomes, who somehow easily clears Rod Woodson, Terrell Suggs and Marcus Allen despite being maybe halfway through his career." Solak notes Mahomes' achievements as a two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion.

Defensive Tackle Chris Jones was selected at No. 37. Solak commented on the close decision between Jones and Randall Cunningham but emphasized Jones' significant contributions to the Chiefs' success with three consecutive first-team All-Pro nods.

Linebacker Willie Lanier appeared at No. 50, described by Solak as "a '70s middle linebacker with eight All-Pros and a Super Bowl IV victory." Tight End Travis Kelce was chosen at No. 66, praised for his role as Patrick Mahomes' primary target and his influence in the NFL during the 2020s.

Offensive Guard Will Shields was picked at No. 74, recognized for never missing a game in his 14-year career with the Chiefs. Other notable selections include Center Jack Rudnay (No. 101), Defensive End Jared Allen (No. 126), Return Man Dante Hall (No. 153), Wide Receiver Tyreek Hill (No. 165), Offensive Guard Trey Smith (No. 226), and Kicker Ryan Succop (No. 256).

The Chiefs had the sixth-most selections on ESPN's list, following teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers.
