First off, Treylon Burks will not fall to 30. All of the top 6 WRs may be gone by pick 29. Should we want Jameson Williams or Treylon Burks we will first have to trade up and then trade down with pick 30 to recoup lost picks. Trey McBride will be gone at pick 92 by Green Bay. David Ojabo and Cameron Thomas at 44 and 78 may not be available. Calvin Austin too at 103. While I like your picks, it is not a likely scenario and it does not address all of our team needs.
I too, have been doing mock drafts for the Chiefs over at nflmockdraftdatabase.com (realistic mode)
with two goals in mind. One, the Chiefs only got 31 sacks last year. That's got to change. Two, in losing Tyreek lets go after taller and fast WRs.
With this in mind, I take Christian Watson at pick 29
I then trade down with Houston. They get pick 30 and we get picks 37 and 107. 13 picks total. With the next three picks I will transform that defensive front line with three players that, like the Chiefs, also combined for 31 sacks last year.
37 DL Logan Hall (7 sacks) He can play inside or out.
50 EDGE Cameron Thomas (11.5 sacks)
62 EDGE Sam Williams (12.5 sacks)
94 LB Damone Clark (a tackling machine with 136 tackles last year)
103 S Kerby Joseph
107 CB Alontae Taylor
121 TE Jelani Woods
135 RB Rashaad White
233 WR Samori Toure
243 OT Ausin Deculus
251 CB Josh Thompson
259 WR Isaiah Weston
At picks 121 and 135 it gets down to who is left available.
Players of interest at this point are OT Luke Goedeke, RB James Cook, WR Tyquan Thornton and WR Erik Ezukanma.
In round 7 other players of interest would be RB Max Borghi, TE Gerrit Prince, S Joey Blount, CB Montaric Brown, and CB Jack Jones.
So in the end here, our defense is now stout across the board and all of our new WRs are all tall and fast. JuJu will be our shortest starting WR at 6' 1". Any thoughts???

While I like many of the players you've taken here, I find this draft about as unrealistic as the OP's; which is to say, ehhh, who knows? I doubt White is there at 135. He's more likely a mid-third.
As for Burks and Ojabo being there at the end of the first, ONE of them is almost certain to be, and that's Ojabo.
One is about 50/50, and that's Burks. Had his combine numbers been better, I would agree that he will not.
I love Watson at #50; not as much at #29 or 30, but who knows?
