124. . Wide Receiver. Iowa State. Hakeem Butler. 29. player

Ian: This almost feels unfair.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense was electric in 2018. Second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes won the NFL MVP award with over 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, and behind an offensive cast of Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Sammy Watkins, the Chiefs flourished en route to an AFC Championship berth.

The Chiefs ultimately fell short in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, but in 2019, they have an opportunity to get back to the big dance, and to do that, they’ll have to both stock up their defense, and replenish their offensive cast, after losing several players.

One player lost was Chris Conley, and while he wasn’t a key contributor, his height and length provided the Chiefs offense with some variety. In the 2019 NFL Draft, they’ll follow this philosophy again with the No. 29 pick, and select Iowa State receiver Hakeem Butler.

Butler is an enticing prospect, with his combination of size, speed, agility, and big play ability. He offers dynamic upside in any NFL offense, but in Andy Reid’s scheme, Butler’s upside is truly otherworldly. As the old adage goes, and so the rich get richer.
