It's a 300 page superdocument created by the smart kids behind the AP Lab, to document as many NFL prospects as possible, specifically with a KC angle that allows for them to tell us how good of a fit such-and-such players are for the 2021 Chiefs.
Any questions about it and its contents, I will answer with the guide.

I assume you mean the three highest areas are OT, DE, and WR. That's just my assumption.
That being said, the highest grades at WR are (bold players are people they grade as "high fits" with the Chiefs, italics are players they grade as "medium fits"):
2nd round grade: Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State Christian Darrisaw, Virginia Tech Alijah Vera-Tucker, USC Jalen Mayfield, Michigan Liam Eichenberg, Notre Dame Samuel Cosmi, Texas Dillon Radunz, North Dakota State
2nd round grade: Jayson Oweh, Penn State
Azeez Ojulari, Georgia <--- low fit Joseph Ossai, Texas Joe Tryon, Washington Gregory Rousseau, Miami Daelin Hayes, Notre Dame [Reply]

Yikes!
They are of the belief that Waddle is a medium fit with KC, and will require "manufactured touches" much like Hardman. They are far more sour on him than just about every other publication I've read.
They are high as hell on Brown, however, who they see as excellent at defeating CBs more on his own than scheme-designed, and is "maybe the best vertical threat in this draft class," and runs a ton of routes very well.
They conclude by asking about Brown that even though they'd be reaching for him if they select him in the 1st, it could be a "match made in heaven."
Waddle still has the higher grade, however.
Edit: Waddle is their 20th ranked prospect. Brown is their 38th. [Reply]

Josh I
Seth Williams
Anthony Schwartz
Ihmar Smith-Marsette
Sage Surratt
Smith-Marsette is the 13th ranked WR in their guide (89th overall player) with a 3rd round grade (and one of the analysts adored him), a high fit
Williams is the 16th (104th) with a 3rd round grade, a high fit
Surratt is the 27th (180th) with a 5th round grade, a medium fit
Schwartz is the 30th (202nd) with a 5th round grade, a high fit
Imatorbhebhe is the 34th (251st) with a 6th-7th round grade, and they did not write a review or name a fit [Reply]

I have Waddle as WR #1 and Dyami wouldn't be in my top ten WR's.
This happens every year though. WR's are beauty in the eye of the beholder. [Reply]
