The Kansas City Chiefs finished placing the final touches on their 2019 NFL Draft class over the weekend, but that’s only where the fun begins.
The bidding war that is undrafted free agency starts the moment that the seventh round ends on Saturday afternoon. The Kansas City Chiefs put their hat in the fire, signing a few players that stand out.
First let me preface this by stating just how important undrafted free agents are to NFL rosters. Yes, these players weren’t considered as highly of prospects, but that doesn’t mean you cannot find some diamonds in the rough.
Players like Tony Romo, Chris Harris jr., Antonio Gates and many more legends went undrafted. Also, here’s a staggering statistic from three years ago from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Hope for underdogs: There are more undrafted free agents on NFL rosters today (481) than 1st- and 2nd-round picks combined (480), per Elias.

Every NFL roster is made up UDFA players and hopefully Veach and his scouting staff did their homework and found some players who can contribute.
So with all that said, lets take a look at the who the Chiefs signed in the UDFA class and who stands out the most!
