In 1967, a system called the "common draft" was implemented for the AFL and NFL. In this system, the two leagues held a joint draft for college players. The "common draft" existed until 1969 as the AFL and NFL would officially merge in 1970.
The following is a list of the 55 players the Chiefs have drafted in the fifth round since 1967:

- The Chiefs have drafted five players in the fifth round who have gone on to earn Pro Bowl honors in their respective careers: Tyreek Hill (2016), D.J. Alexander (2015), Dante Hall (2000), Joe Horn (1996), Jim Arnold (1983) and Carlos Carson (1980).
- The Chiefs have taken more players from Notre Dame (3) in the fifth round than any other school: Jordan Black (2003), Lindsay Knapp (1993) and Mike Oriard (1970).
- The Chiefs have selected more defensive backs (10) in the fifth round than any other position.
- Dante Hall (aka "X-Factor" or the "Human Joystick") was selected in the 2000 draft with the No. 153-overall pick. He was a two-time All-Pro return man that was a fan favorite in his seven seasons in Kansas City.
- Notable names: Brandon Carr (2008), Kendrick Lewis (2010) and Scott Fujita (2002).
- Last season's fifth-round picks were quarterback Kevin Hogan (No. 162) and wide receiver Tyreek Hill (No. 165). Hill went on to receive All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors as a rookie, and Hogan, who the Chiefs released, should be in the mix to earn the Cleveland Browns' starting job this fall.
