KC Chiefs: Eight players worth trading up for in the NFL Draft

Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

Projected Range:

#8 overall – #22 overall

Overview:

Honestly, it is pretty impossible to get an accurate read on how general managers across the NFL are viewing this wide receiver class. To analysts, it’s somewhat of a “pick ’em” when it comes to this position group. It really depends on the skillset that you are looking for in your receiver. Jameson Williams happens to be good at everything that the wide receiver position requires.

The Chiefs, who seem to be interested in overhauling the wide receiver group, are likely looking for the heir to Tyreek Hill. While Williams does not possess the same speed as Hill, he has all of the intangibles of an elite wide receiver and will make his presence felt early in his NFL career. This would not only be a move that was building for the future, but also a move that would make the team better immediately.

As a compliment to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster, Williams would provide a consistent threat that would make the Kansas City offense very difficult to contain. The addition of Williams would be the mark of a new era in the Kansas City offense.

Compensation:

The Chiefs are not going to move substantial draft capital for a wide receiver; However, if Williams falls later into the first round, the Chiefs may be burning up the phone lines. Hypothetically, where Kansas City would be comfortable trading up, they would need to give up picks 29 and 50.
