There will be high end guys come from it as there always is, but it seems more of a real middle of the pack draft than a top heavy one.

I don't really feel like it's a middle-of-the-pack draft. It is really similar to last year's draft to me. I think it's strong. I just don't feel like it's worth to go up into the top tier of players at most of the positions KC needs. The only way it's worth it is probably to go up and get a LT if that ends up being a need.
This is shaping up as Tier 1
QB Stroud
QB Levis
QB Young
RB Robinson
WR Johnston
WR Hyatt
TE Mayer
OG Torrence
OT Johnson
OT Skoronski
OT Jones
DT Carter
ER Anderson
ER Murphy
ER Wilson
CB Gonzalez
CB Porter
CB Witherspoon
S Branch
Here are a few with a strong argument for Tier 1 and are players KC probably has the most reasonable chance to get to.
RB Gibbs
TE Musgrave
LB Sanders
DT Bresee
CB Ringo
WR Addison
That puts you at 25 players. That doesn't mean all those players will go in round 1 but those are currently the strong bets.
Then here's kind of the next tier of 20, which is what KC is probably looking at drafting from.
QB Richardson
RB Achane
TE Washington
TE Kincaid
WR Smith-Njigba
WR Downs
OT Harrison
OT Wright
OT Jones
LB Simpson
DT Smith
ER VanNess
ER White
ER Smith
ER Ojulari
ER Hall
ER Tuipulotu
CB Banks
CB Forbes
CB Smith
This last group probably has a few changes. The first 25 don't probably change a great deal.
