You'd definitely have to say goodbye to either Sneed or Chris Jones but if you cut MVS, somehow tagged and traded Sneed and got a low 1st or high 2nd, it would be possible.
And then you'd have Evans, Rice and maybe, by trading your 1st and 2nd to move up, Brian Thomas Jr.

Filthy.

Kansas City Chiefs
Sign WR Mike Evans and draft a WR at No. 32
It's hard to critique the team that just won a second straight Super Bowl, but we all know that the Chiefs' wide receivers were a disappointment. That's the clear area where Kansas City can improve as it attempts to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls.
Start with the best player on the market -- and he just happens to have a ring of his own already. Yes, Evans will be 31 years old this year, but he's still playing at a high level. Evans ranked 23rd in DVOA among qualifying wide receivers last season and has 10 straight years with at least 1,000 receiving yards. And he's money in the red zone, with 13 touchdowns last season. Imagine Patrick Mahomes throwing to Evans on one side with Rashee Rice on the other side and Travis Kelce in the middle. It's enough for Chiefs Kingdom to already start planning another celebration.
And what to do about Evans' age? Well, start preparing for the inevitable by using that No. 32 pick on another wide receiver who can gradually step in over the next couple of years. Florida State's Keon Coleman has similar size and would make a perfect heir apparent to Evans.

Maybe Chris wants 32 a year now.

On the other hand, he’s a (big) year older, played a fairly low snap percentage this year and didn’t put up crazy counting stats.

I think he is clearly worth incrementally more than the second highest-paid guy, not incrementally less than Donald.

I think there will be room to extend him (and manipulate the cap hit for the guaranteed portion) AND put the non-exclusive tag on Sneed. See where that goes.
