2. Andrei Iosivas, Wide Receiver, Princeton

General manager Brett Veach has the luxury of knowing that he has the best quarterback, tight end, and head coach in football, and has a slew of draft picks with relatively few holes to fill on the roster. That means that he can afford to take a swing or two at a developmental prospect at positions Kansas City may need down the road, like wide receiver. The team will also be auditioning for a replacement for some contributors from the 2022 season, (likely) Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman.

Former Princeton standout Andrei Iosivas is an option worth looking at. For starters, he’s quite quick, and we know how head coach Andy Reid likes speed in his weapons. At the Combine, Iosivas posted a 4.43 40-yard dash, the 11th-best time amongst the position group. But that was one of his weaker testing points, as he finished top five in the bench press (5th), the 20-yard shuttle (2), and the 3-cone drill (2). His overall athletic ranking at the combine placed him 9th amongst all wide receivers.

In addition to his performance in Inday, Iosivas also possesses excellent size (6’3″, 205 lbs) and could add some weight to his frame to better fight off the line. The former Tiger is a perfect buy-low prospect for an offense that can afford to take a swing. He’s not going to be a Pro Bowler anytime soon – but he has a chance to be a solid contributor as a late-round pick in Andy Reid’s offense, and Veach should take a closer look in the coming month.
