Last 15 players selected at pick No. 217 in the NFL draft

As we inch closer to draft day, we’re taking a look at the recent history and franchise history behind the picks that the Kansas City Chiefs currently hold. We’re at pick No. 217 in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft. Some years, pick No. 217 has been a seventh-round pick, but this year it’s the final pick in the sixth round.

Kansas City has only drafted a player at pick No. 217 once in franchise history and that player is actually featured on this list. He’s still playing in the NFL today, recently signing a contract with the New York Giants. The Chiefs have also made a few picks around No. 217 in recent history, with OL Nick Allegretti at 216 in 2019 and S Leon McQuay at 218 in 2017.

The recent history at the pick hasn’t been half bad, including just last year when a team found a player who had the second-most sacks among rookies with that pick. Here is a look at the past 15 players drafted at pick No. 217:
