My thought on trading down is that it's more of a thing a team does when it's trying to fix depth issues and doesn't have the picks to do it.
In my opinion, KC has problems with starter-caliber talent at a couple of key positions and not depth issues. Currently, the Chiefs have the picks to make this a depth draft. I mean, 5 picks by 103 is more than a reasonable amount to add talent to the roster. I don't think acquiring more capital is necessary. I'm not in favor of lessening the position to load up on even more B and C-level talents. I'm highly in favor of trying to get couple A-level talents, which likely means going the opposite direction.
I'd also offer my opinion that you're over-drafting Williams and Clark and severely under-drafting Raimann and Jones. Ojabo I think goes much later too, but we'll see.
Honestly, I think this would be a more reasonable order:
35. Jones, DT
38. Raimann, OT
43. Watson, WR
58. Williams, DE
64. Ojabo, DE (I think pundits are way overrating where he'll end up. He tore his f'n Achilles, not an ACL. It's an enormous chance. I still think this may be too early but you got 87 picks in the top 100, may as well swing one).
94. McCollum, CB
97. Armour-Davis, CB
103. ??
104. Cross, SS
188. Chandler, RB or Austin, WR
233. Clark, LB (he had spinal fusion and is out of 2022, someone probably drafts him just to stash him but it sure as shit isn't going to be a 3rd round pick when he was tabbed a late 2 to 3 to start with)
259. Nelson, SS (probably a PFA)
