MMQB: top 400 players in the NFL.
Link.
393 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Allen Bailey 3-4 DE Bailey is another one of those Chiefs defensive ends who can make plays at the point of attack against the run. And every now and then, he'll show up as a pass rusher. Rank 375 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Rakeem Nunez-Roches 3-4 DE Nunez-Roches is a strong point-of-attack run defender who sheds blocks well. The Chiefs always find hidden gems like this at defensive end. Rank 372 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Alex Smith QB It can be maddening how many open throws you see on film that Smith doesn't attempt. But in Andy Reid's masterfully constructed offense, prudence isn't the worst thing. Rank 308 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Mitch Morse C Morse has good range and athleticism, which can be important in an offense that features as much misdirection as Kansas City's does. Rank 307 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Terrance Mitchell CB How often do you see an early-season practice squad corner get forced into a No. 2 role late in the year and play so well that the entire defense improves? Rank 286 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Ron Parker FS The Chiefs are a matchup defense; when they're not playing straight man-to-man, they're lining up in a Cover 3 zone and aggressively converting it to man after the snap. Parker's cornerbacking experience is critical. Rank 281 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Tamba Hali 3-4 OLB Two things Hali has always played with'and continues to play with in a reduced, specialized role'are leverage and tenacity. Rank 276 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Derrick Johnson STACK LB His ranking is pretty much a reflection of my skepticism that a 34-year-old can make it back from a second Achilles injury in three years. I hope I'm wrong. Johnson has been a great'not just good, great'player for several years now. Rank 271 Falcons Logo Atlanta Falcons Dontari Poe NT Frankly, no run defense that he's a part of should rank 26th in the NFL, like Kansas City's did last year. He has too strong a mix of athleticism and size for that. Rank 229 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Laurent Duvernay-Tardif RG Sometimes it's as simple as having terrific raw strength. That strength will only stand out more as Duvernay-Tardif continues to hone his mechanics. Rank 211 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Spencer Ware RB He doesn't look it on the surface, but Ware is one of the most versatile backs in football. He's particularly dangerous as a route runner out of the backfield. Rank 198 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Bennie Logan 4-3 DT Logan is a terrific mover for his monstrous size, especially going east-west. The Eagles run defense is worse without him. Rank 160 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Dee Ford 3-4 OLB Who do we believe: The Ford who recorded 10 sacks in the first nine games last season, or the Ford who recorded zero sacks in his last six games? (Considering he was battling a hamstring at times late last season, I believe the Dee Ford from the first nine weeks.) Rank 157 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Tyreek Hill WR The Chiefs want Hill to become an everydown player in Year Two. In that case, he'd be more than just a gadget weapon. But even as a gadget weapon, he's easily one of the league's top-200 players. Rank 156 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Chris Jones 3-4 DE There are an unusually high number of quality 3-4 defensive ends in the league right now. Remove J.J. Watt from the equation and you could say that Jones, if he continues his rapid progression from down the stretch last season, is the most intriguing of all of them. Rank 83 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Mitchell Schwartz RT The majority of NFL teams have a liability at right tackle. Last year the Chiefs paid $33 million over five years to ensure they wouldn't. So far it's been money well spent. Rank 53 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Marcus Peters CB The most dangerous defender in the league when he's playing off-man coverage and his receiver and the quarterback are in the same line of vision. The next step for Peters will be to travel with No. 1 receivers. It may be a while before he does; the Chiefs are rock-solid at their other corner spot and can afford to stay static here. Rank 39 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Justin Houston 3-4 OLB Coming off an injury-riddled season, it's easy to forget that the Chiefs gave Houston a six-year, $101 million contract two years ago. He's worth it, especially when you consider that, even with 22 sacks in 2014, his best attribute is his strength as a play-side run defender. Rank 27 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Eric Berry SS Berry can play centerfield, high-hole safety, lower-hole safety, split-safety (for Cover 2 and Quarters coverage), dime linebacker and man-to-man against tight ends anywhere in the formation. That alone is commendable. Then add in his playmaking prowess. Rank 21 Chiefs Logo Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce TE By the end of last season, Kelce was consistently beating cornerbacks one-on-one out in space (including the likes of Broncos star Aqib Talib). And notably, his once-vulnerable run-blocking has improved and is now an asset in Kansas City's misdirection offense. |

Yeah, pretty ridiculous to be honest.
Alex Smith is only 3 spots better than Rakeem Nunez-Roches? And 65 slot BELOW a guy who started only a few games in his career in Mitchell? I know Smith isn't a GREAT QB, but i mean damn...he's certainly better than THAT.
