Details about the Kansas City Chiefs' latest trade in the 2026 NFL Draft have finally been revealed.
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach saw an opportunity to land a premium prospect in Round 5 and pounced — striking a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers that landed Kansas City the No. 161 selection.
With that pick, the Chiefs took Nebraska Cornhuskers running back Emmett Johnson.
But, of course, the trade didn't come without a cost. In the end, the Chiefs sent Pittsburgh the No. 169 and 210 selections in exchange for No. 161 and 249.
Veteran sports anchor Harold R. Kuntz of FOX 4 confirmed the trade details shortly after Johnson's selection on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft:
Trade Particulars:Chiefs get: Nos. 161 (Johnson), 249 (7th)Steelers get: Nos. 169, 210
Johnson should be expected to compete for snaps behind reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in Kansas City's new-look offense. His selection marked the first time that the Chiefs' front office targeted an offensive player in the 2026 NFL Draft, and could be a sign that Veach is shifting gears as he readies to make Kansas City's final picks.
