Chiefs Trade Talk: ESPN simulates 2 offers for KC to add a player

Kansas City Chiefs

Ben Solak’s offer:

Giants get: 2027 fourth-round pick
Chiefs get: Thibodeaux

Why this deal makes sense: In recent drafts, the Chiefs have been dumping picks into edge rusher to find more juice: 2023 first-rounder Felix Anudike-Uzomah, 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte and 2026 second-rounder R Mason Thomas. Why not add one more dart throw in Thibodeaux, who can fill a designated pass-rush role while Gillotte takes more early-down work?

The Chiefs do have an extra third-rounder next year as a result of the Trent McDuffie trade, but I don’t think the Giants will be able to wrench a Day 2 pick from anyone for Thibodeaux, who has been only a rotational player to this point in his career.
