Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders
Kansas City traded Alex Smith to Washington for cornerback Kendall Fuller and the 78th pick in the 2018 draft. Fuller gave the Chiefs two seasons of secondary play and was part of the Super Bowl LIV roster, while the draft capital added another valuable asset. The move also cleared the starting job for Patrick Mahomes, making Kansas City's return unusually strong even before considering the quarterback succession.

Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City moved from No. 54 to No. 46 and also received No. 100, while Cincinnati received picks No. 54 and No. 78 in the 2018 draft. Cincinnati converted the move down into Jessie Bates III and Malik Jefferson, while Kansas City selected Breeland Speaks at No. 46 and Dorian O'Daniel at No. 100. Bates became an elite safety and a foundational defender during his Bengals tenure; Speaks never became a regular Chiefs contributor. That gap makes this one of the clearest wins in the wave.

Kansas City Chiefs
- Pick 2018 2nd round pick (46th overall, Breeland Speaks)
- Pick 2018 3rd round pick (100th overall, Dorian O'Daniel)
