Here we go...

32. Kansas City Chiefs
Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas

Let's give quarterback Patrick Mahomes the guy who just ran the fastest 40-yard dash we have on record and see what happens. The Chiefs brought in Marquise Brown on a one-year prove-it deal and watched rookie Rashee Rice emerge last season, but the idea of Mahomes throwing to Worthy is just too good. His 4.21 speed shows up on tape, as he caught 26 touchdown passes over three years and went over 1,000 yards last season. His deep speed would keep defenses from double-teaming tight end Travis Kelce and get Kansas City back to executing more downfield plays after Mahomes averaged a career-low 6.2 air yards per pass last season.

64. Kansas City Chiefs
Javon Bullard, S, Georgia

Trading cornerback L'Jarius Sneed away means movement in the Kansas City secondary. Bullard gets listed at safety but has tools that'll remind you of Tyrann Mathieu in this defense -- which is the kind of hybrid inside-out player Sneed was at the start of his career.

95. Kansas City Chiefs
DeWayne Carter, DT, Duke

Chris Jones signed for three more years, but the Chiefs still covet more rotational pass-rushers for Steve Spagnuolo's scheme. Carter has similar tools to Derrick Nnadi, though he had only one sack last season.

131. Kansas City Chiefs: Will Shipley, RB, Clemson

173. Kansas City Chiefs*: Logan Lee, DT, Iowa

221. Kansas City Chiefs (via CAR/TEN): Tyler Owens, S, Texas Tech
