Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

This would be the ultimate addition to the legion of zoom and I’m here for it. Peter King revealed a draft rumor that if Ruggs falls into the 20s, the Chiefs would be interested in trading up for him. It’s highly unlikely that Ruggs falls that far, but it’s understandable for any GM to want to trade up for him if he falls to the 20s.

Ruggs would lock up the Chiefs’ wide receiver position for the near future and boost them to not only the fastest wide receivers in the league, but also possibly the best. Ruggs ran a blazing 4.27 second time in the 40-yard dash, the best among wide receivers at the combine. Imagine having Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, and Henry Ruggs III on the field at the same time. With Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, that would just be plain unfair.

Isaiah Hodgins, WR, Oregon State

If Ruggs is taken when he should be, which is way before the Chiefs pick, then I like Isaiah Hodgins out of Oregon State. Hodgins has the size that the Chiefs’ wide receivers currently lack. He’s a 6’4″, 210 lb. wideout who had a breakout season last year with 86 receptions for 1,171 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Pro Football Focus gave Isaiah Hodgins the award for best hands, as he’s only had 3 drops on 179 catchable passes. His contested catch rate is also among the top of the NCAA. Hodgins is a hidden gem that’s projected to go later in the draft, and I’d love the Chiefs to grab him. I wouldn’t mind if they used their third round pick on him or if they traded back and took him early in the fourth.

Thaddeus Moss, TE, LSU

I don’t think the Chiefs really need a tight end, but if they take one, why not the son of hall of fame wide receiver Randy Moss? Thaddeus Moss had a solid season last year for the championship winning LSU team with 570 yards on 47 receptions.

Moss isn’t the biggest contributor numbers wise, but his big talent comes in the blocking game. He’s an excellent blocker, which is exactly what the Chiefs would need out of a tight end. With Travis Kelce in place and Ricky Seals-Jones as a backup, Moss would be a great guy to take late in the draft and develop if the Chiefs get an early fourth round pick. I wouldn’t be a big fan of spending a third on Moss, though.
