I do mostly agree with you, I would say that a TE is not the best use of a high pick, where as you say that its not a good use of a high pick.
I do have absolute certainty that if they were to take one of the top few TE from this class, Andy would make good use of them and the offense would be improved, so I would be okay with it. I guess I am not as high on Noah as you.
I don't think it will happen, but I would actually love to see Darnell Washington go to the Chiefs in the 2nd round, of all the tight ends. I think he would complement the other TEs on the roster currently in 12 and 13 personnel and really put defenses in a bind in terms of personnel to try and match up.

Well, Kelce's going to get 100 plus targets, he just is.
All the talk of 'easing the load' isn't going to happen. And it probably shouldn't. The wear and tear and years of use adds up whether he gets the ball or not. It's not like a running back, where the mileage is in the carries.
Gray is just a good example of a young player who's path to playing time is blocked somewhat by an established star. Using more 21 personnel is his only real path to more snaps, which the Chiefs have been using. I think he's looked pretty good when targeted. Of course, that's not really all that often-because Kelce. And nobody you draft is going to unseat Kelce until he's declined by a noticeable amount.
Which is fine.
But if you spend a high draft pick, you're only really going to see significant returns about when it's time to sign them to the second contract.
In the case of the WR room, we don't have an established superstar. So yeah, there are plenty of targets available. I think I'm higher than a lot of people on this WR class, but it's not a top 15 weighted class. A lot of second rounders with only a few first rounders. That's not to say there aren't future stars in the group. I think there could be. I'd take one no later than the third I think.
