63rd pick: Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati

Over the last two years, the Kansas City Chiefs have now lost both Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman at the wide receiver position. They’ve been effectively replaced by the likes of Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney, and others on the Kansas City Roster, at least where you would pencil them in on the depth chart. But I think the Chiefs could look to find a nice value at receiver in this draft just like they did last year when they landed Moore at the bottom of round two.

Tyler Scott is a speedy receiver out of Cincinnati who would fit in perfectly with what the Chiefs like to do offensively, getting the ball out to their receivers quickly and letting them create in space after the catch.

95th pick: Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State

If you pay attention to any of Chiefs Kingdom on Twitter, you might see a lot of different people who really are trying desperately to manifest Zach Harrison to Kansas City. It makes sense. There’s been plenty of transition on the defensive front for Kansas City over the last couple of years, including the team saying goodbye to Frank Clark this past offseason.

Of course, they drafted George Karlaftis in round one last year and added Charles Omenihu in free agency, but you can never have too many quality guys off the edge and Harrison has traits worth betting on at this juncture. He’s considered somewhat of a risk because his productivity has not always matched those traits, but the Chiefs seem to get the best out of guys.
