Here's Terez Paylor's 2.0 Mock.

18 Chiefs

TE Maxx Williams, 6-4, 250, Minnesota

Go ahead and let your anger out. Scream. I’ll wait.

(Waiting…)

(Still waiting…)

Done yet? Good. It’s no secret the Chiefs need receivers, so I’m not going to bore you with the reasons why. But Cooper, White and Parker are all off the board here, and it’s not in John Dorsey’s and Andy Reid’s nature to reach for a second-tier guy at that spot in the draft. So what’s the best way to provide Alex Smith with another weapon? Give him another top-flight, young tight end.

Yes, I know the Chiefs already have Travis Kelce. I love Kelce’s upside, too — he’s already a very good player and he still has room to grow. But Anthony Fasano isn’t getting any younger (he turns 31 this year), and as you know, Reid loves his two-tight end sets. I had a discussion with Reid where he’s waxed poetically about his days in Green Bay, when the Packers terrorized defenses with two Pro Bowl-caliber tight ends in Mark Chmura and Keith Jackson. So yes folks, there is absolutely room in the offense for Kelce and a player of Williams’ caliber.

Speaking of Williams, I already liked him based on the bits and pieces I saw of him this season, but he jumped off the tape in my recent film review. As a redshirt sophomore, he flashed an impressive combination of athleticism, aggressiveness and ball skills (he made multiple sensational catches in the games I watched). He needs to refine his route running but he is an emotional player who gets excited after big plays and is a very willing and aggressive blocker (often blocking to the whistle), though he sometimes slips off blocks because of a lack of strength. But guess what? He’s still young — he only turns 21 this year — and still has room to fill out his frame.

Finally, Smith takes a lot of heat for fans and some analysts for not taking chances downfield. Well, if you’re in that camp, why not give him another weapon at a position he’s shown he’s willing to throw to? The Chiefs can’t reasonably get out of Alex’s contract until after the 2017 season, so you need to commit to giving him the pieces he needs that give him the best chance to succeed.

For the record, I’d still keep an eye on UCLA middle linebacker Eric Kendricks, who went to the Chiefs in my last mock draft and is still a first-rounder in my eyes, though small inside linebackers often fall to the second round. Also keep an eye on cornerback — I’m intrigued by Florida State’s P.J. Williams, provided he has the long arms the Chiefs like — and Miami of Ohio’s Quinten Rollins, a former basketball player who is raw but really gifted.

Lastly, I feel obligated to say I’m not crazy about the Chiefs taking the first-round receivers remaining on the board this early (Jaelen Strong, Devin Smith), though that could change as we go through the process. I need to see what kind of 40-yard dash Strong runs, and because he needs to improve his route running, I wonder about how he’d fit in Reid’s offense. I know Smith would fit — he’s an elite deep-ball threat — but he’s still raw in other facets of the game and is probably better suited to be a late-first or early-second-round pick.

Thoughts? Seems like a decent possibility if the top 3 WR's are gone.
