The Chiefs began play as the Dallas Texans of the American Football League in 1960 and moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs in 1963. That said, the first ever draft pick for the franchise was QB Don Meredith from SMU in the 1960 AFL draft. Meredith was also selected by the Bears in the 1960 NFL draft and chose to play in the NFL. The Bears traded Meredith to the Cowboys shortly after the 1960 NFL draft.

The first ever draft choice for the franchise after it moved to Kansas City was DT Buck Buchanan from Grambling in the 1963 AFL draft. Buchanan played 13 seasons with the Chiefs and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.
