9. Kansas City Chiefs

Key Additions: Bennie Logan, Patrick Mahomes, Tanoh Kpassagnon, Kareem Hunt and Jehu Chesson

Key Losses: Dontari Poe, Jaye Howard

The story here for the Kansas City Chiefs is that Andy Reid is a really good coach who gets the most of his team’s talents. You can look at this roster and pick out a handful of holes, but somehow the Chiefs routinely find themselves in playoff contention.

    • Offensively, the Chiefs appear to be committed to Alex Smith for at least one more season. They used a lot of draft capital to bring in Patrick Mahomes so he will get his chance to start. This was a long-term move by Reid as those picks could’ve been used to help the team win now.

    They could’ve used another pass-catching option to stretch the field. Tyreek Hill is an offensive weapon but still needs to refinement as a route runner. Jehu Chesson has talent but he’s not an explosive athlete who will take the top off a defense.

    Drafting Kareem Hunt was an underrated move as he could be the team’s starting running back early in the season.  He’s a downhill runner who does a great job picking up yards after contact.

    The defense will benefit from a fully healthy Justin Houston and the under the radar signing of Bennie Logan.
