And would it be worth it to take him a round earlier than projected, just because of the great connection and history between the two?

Color me crazy, but if the Chiefs made it their mission to sign Cantrell, I have little doubt that the Chiefs' offense would be a literal re-make of the Cowboys dominant offense of the early 90s.
Hunt provides the ground game, Hill is the constant deep threat and guy who requires double-coverage. We're two-deep at tight end and both are also excellent blockers.
Add Cantrell to the mix and defensive coordinators will go nuts trying to figure out who to double-team: Hill or Cantrell. In the meanwhile, that frees up our tight end and/or allows the receivers to spread the field and when you do THAT with a Kareem Hunt and Patrick Mahomes in the backfield. . .
I'll also be interested to see how Jace Amaro does with KC and Mahomes. Amaro was a monster during his years at Tech and was virtually unstoppable. From day one in the NFL, he was never used even close in a way that would maximize his potential. While he and Mahomes never played together, they played under the same system, so there will be familiarity.
This is going to be a fun season to watch.
