3. Treylon Burks, wide receiver, Titans

Despite all of their recent additions at the position, and all of the investments the Chiefs have made, there is still something unsettled about the wide receiver group in Kansas City.

The status of Rashee Rice is a complete unknown at this point. And going forward, how much can the Chiefs rely on him anyway? This team has done a solid job of at least trying to load up on talent with the acquisitions of first-round pick Xavier Worthy as well as signing former first-round pick Hollywood Brown in NFL free agency.

The Chiefs also have former first-round pick Kadarius Toney on the roster along with former second-round pick Skyy Moore.

Is there room for a player like Treylon Burks? Absolutely. Burks and his overall skill set feel tailor-made for what this Chiefs team likes to do. Burks has always been great at making plays in space. The primary issue for him in Tennessee right now is that he hasn't been able to get going as a pro. And now the Titans have added some players at the position who could prevent Burks from getting valuable reps and snaps in his third NFL season.

The former first-round pick out of Arkansas may be looking like a bust in Tennessee, but having the ability to be so dynamic in the open field makes him a very interesting option for the Chiefs, especially if the-schemes being drawn up by Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

Burks and his big body would be outstanding in this quick-strike offense.

The Titans have DeAndre Hopkins and the newly acquired duo of Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd. The Chiefs have a lot of question marks. Getting Burks for a late-round pick would put Kansas City in a pretty enviable spot at one of the most important positions on the roster.
