The KC Chiefs benefitted from safety Jaden Hicks falling in the draft, and the team is amped about getting great value in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Kansas City Chiefs have done a good job finding value in the 2024 NFL Draft's three days. On the final one, however, there may not have been a greater example of that than the 133rd overall pick.
Speaking to the media on Saturday afternoon, team regional scout Greg Castillo admitted he was surprised at Hicks' draft slide. With that said, he's thanking his lucky stars it led to him becoming a Chief. In a quick conference call after being picked, Hicks said the fall"wasn't a great feeling" but added that he"couldn't have asked for a better outcome" landing in Kansas City. According to him, the Chiefs showed interest in a couple of Zoom meetings during the pre-draft process.
