Results of the Trade for WR Kadarius Toney by The Chiefs
Kadarius Toney could not be available for the Kansas City Chiefs' season-opening game against the Detroit Lions.
Last year’s trade deadline move by the Kansas City Chiefs to acquire WR Kadarius Toney was instrumental in the team winning its second Super Bowl in the previous four years.
The outcomes of that deal are now known as the 2023 NFL Draft, which has concluded. To acquire Toney, the Chiefs sent the Giants selections Nos. 100 and 209 in exchange. Later, New York acquired TE Darren Waller from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for selection No. 100.
Now who did Las Vegas choose with selection number 100? The Raiders selected WR Tre Tucker of Cincinnati. He is a slot receiver and return specialist who is 5-foot-9 and 187 pounds. He had a stellar season in which he caught 52 passes for more than 600 yards and three touchdowns. Given that Hunter Renfrow is already filling the spot, the move felt unnecessary to them.
With the trade for Waller, the Giants acquired a brand-new tight end to replace Daniel Jones. Additionally, they held onto the pick Kansas City sent their way in the sixth round, selecting Old Dominion CB Tre Hawkins III at pick 209. He is a 6-foot-2, 189-pound outside cornerback with track experience who should grow into a player.
It is reasonable to say that Kansas City is pleased with the outcomes of this transaction, even without knowing how things will pan out for these two draft prospects or Waller in New York.
They acquired a crucial offensive component that helped them win their most recent Super Bowl and provided the Giants with the means to obtain Waller from the Raiders. Ultimately, as a bonus to the whole process, they crippled an AFC West rival by proxy.
