The Chiefs received a cache of draft picks with their March 2022 trade of wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins, and it was very much by design.
Before the trade was completed, there were various reports that seven-time Pro Bowler would instead be dealt to the Jets. Ultimately, Hill wanted to go to Miami, which helped the Chiefs facilitate the deal.
