Chiefs Trade for Bailey, Boosting Defense

0:00On March 26, the Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up a rough six-win 11-loss season after three straight Super Bowl runs. To shake things up on defense, they traded Star Cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for four future draft picks, including A. First Rounder in 2026, plus a fifth in sixth that same year, and a third Rounder in 2027. They also lost their other starting corner, Jalen Watson, to the Rams. That deal gives the Chiefs two First Round picks in the 2026 NFL draft. Analysts see them targeting Texas Tech Edge Russia, David Bailey, with one of those selections around the number nine spot. Bailey led the country with 14 and a half sacks last year, bringing a speed-based rush that Kansas City lacks right now. Their top pass rushers, like Chris Jones and George Carlaftus, were live more on power. So Bailey's quick burst off the edge would add a fresh threat and make offenses guess more on every play. Adding him could turn the Chiefs defense into a real strength again, setting them up to climb back toward contention in the coming years.
