2. Theo Wease, WR, Missouri
Wease is a fifth-year senior who transferred to Missouri after spending the first three seasons of his college career at Oklahoma. Wease made a name for himself quickly and had the two best seasons of his college career at Missouri, posting 109 receptions for 1566 yards over his two years in Colombia.
Wease is a tall but thin outside wide receiver who came in at six-foot-three inches and 200 pounds at the NFL draft combine. Many scouts have gripes with Wease having a thin frame, and lacking the physicality teams want to see outside receivers have at the NFL level. But what he lacks in strength and physicality, he makes up for with quickness and impressive movement skills for a guy of his size.
Wease currently ranks as my 30th receiver in the draft with mid-to-late Day Three grade but is someone who I think is a safe pick to have a small role in the NFL early in his career. The Chiefs need a pure outside guy to help complement players like Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Rashee Rice, and if Wease is available in the seventh round or as a UDFA, he could be a good depth addition for the Chiefs.
3. Logan Brown, OT, Kansas
Brown was once a highly touted five-star prospect and was ranked as the seventh overall player in the 2019 high school class. After starting his college career at Wisconsin, he transferred to Kansas in 2022. While he didn’t become the elite force many hoped to see coming out of high school, he showed himself to be a consistent and reliable right tackle.
Despite his play on the field, there are concerns about Brown’s draft stock. He has struggled with bicep and shoulder injuries, which could raise red flags for teams, making it crucial to verify his health status before making a decision. Additionally, his past at Wisconsin includes a troubling off-field incident where he was dismissed from the team after hitting a teammate during practice. This behavior is unacceptable and will need to be addressed in interviews by the Chiefs staff, and the pro day gave them a chance to build more rapport.
If Brown can resolve these issues and demonstrate growth both on and off the field, his tape shows he has the ability to contribute in the NFL. With a strong frame, physicality, and solid movement skills, he could provide valuable depth for a team like the Chiefs. His experience also makes him a candidate to step in and play immediately as needed. However, much depends on how he handles his off-field concerns and the results of his health evaluations in conversations with team staff.
