I am much more down with this plan than spending the same type of draft capital to get an Aiyuk or Pittman. Not sure how high you'd have to get on Egbuka, but considering I think he's better than any WR taken last year and he's the 4th guy in this draft, it's a palatable price. Even if KC ends up drafting lower than currently slotted (as I think it will).
Getting to around #20 to get Egbuka is pretty do-able. If that even ends up being required. Obviously Harrison and Nabers are off the board before him, as well as Odunze, but I could also see Leggette and Coleman jumping him with great combine results.
KC isn't overflowing with extra picks, but there are several teams with a second first in the teens, which makes it much more achievable to trade up, IMO.
And looking ahead at the 25 WR class, other than Luther Burden (who KC will not be in range to draft unless a calamity occurs), I don't see anything that fits nearly as well as multiple guys in this draft.
