So here's a mock built around the idea of taking Freiermuth first.
The key thing here is, if you do this you are changing your starting personnel. KC shifts to a team that runs 12 personnel as its primary personnel grouping, rather than 11.
31. Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State
70. (trade) Walker Little, OT, Stanford
94. Quinn Meinerz, C, Wisconsin-Whitewater
136. Paulson Adebo, CB< Stanford
144. Wiliam Bradley-King, DE, Baylor
157. (trade) Richard LeCounte, S, Georgia
176. Khalil Herbert, RB, Va. Tech
180. Dez Fitzpatrick, WR, Louisville
256. Wyatt Hubert, DE, Kansas State
You'd have to address a starting DE AND at least a fill-in LT in free agency.
But I could see something like this being a logical evolution of the Chiefs-Reid offense, considering what teams are trying to do to Mahomes. In Freiermuth, you gain a TE who is an excellent blocker and who can be a real weapon in the middle of the field.
Running a 12 set as your primary offense, whether from shotgun or under center, would set KC up to really take advantage of teams dropping two safeties deep and dictate the matchups.
It all pins on how you evaluate Freiermuth, though. Is that someone ready to kick in Day 1 and play starters snaps? Is he as good as a receiver as thought?
