Waived: Dezman Moses, LB, Tulane Signed: Devan Walker, LB, SE Louisiana.

No defenders or a line, but Cairo Santos just hit 63-yard field goal. Would love to see him hit that during the next pre season game.

6. Peter King thinks- Water is Wet.
7. Peter King thinks- the Chiefs will most likely play their home games at Arrowhead.
8. Peter King thinks- the Chiefs will wear Red at some point this year.
9. Peter King thinks- the Chiefs will draft players to fill out the roster.
10. Peter King thinks- that fans might get together before games at "Arrowhead" and most likely cook food. He is calling it "Tailgating" based on the fact-some fans will have their "tailgate" on their trucks down during the process.

and as a bonus... Peter King thinks- the Night games will be dark-so the Chiefs will most likely turn on the lights inside the stadium to counter the darkness.

PFF: Chiefs/Bengals

Kansas City — Three Performances of Note

As Good as Advertised

After 13th overall pick Aaron Donald, the second most impressive pass rusher at the Senior Bowl was outside linebacker Dee Ford. The Chiefs 23rd overall pick did his best to show that performance wasn’t just a fluke. Ford picked up a pass rushing grade of +3.7, and a run defense grade of -1.4 on 57 snaps against the Bengals. Those grades are eerily similar to his Senior Bowl splits. The run defense is concerning, but it was more of a discipline problem than a talent deficiency. Most of Ford’s snaps, however, came against backup tackles and it will be worth watching if he ever gets a chance to run against starters as the preseason moves on.

Good to be Back

Malcolm Bronson hadn’t played in a competitive football game since 2012, but you couldn’t have guessed that by watching him play last night. The Chiefs safety was flawless in coverage. He didn’t allow a catch on two targets and took home an interception with a lightning quick break on an out route intended for Brandon Tate early in the third quarter. It was all a long time coming for the McNeese State product that tore his ACL his senior season and spent all of 2013 rehabbing on the Chiefs practice squad. With the rave reviews from practice, and a ridiculous +2.7 grade in 29 snaps on Thursday, Bronson could be in line for serious snaps when the regular season rolls around.

Much Needed Weapons


The Chiefs offensive skill players outside of Jamaal Charles were amongst the worst in the league last season. Not a single other wide receiver, tight end or running back with significant playing time had a positive receiving or rushing grade. That is why seeing Travis Kelce(+1.1 receiving grade) and De’Anthony Thomas(+1.4 return grade) each score long touchdowns must have been a sight for sore eyes for Chiefs fans. Kelce, a third round pick in 2013, showed no signs of wear after microfracture surgery cost him his rookie year. The 6’5”, 260 pound tight end put a filthy move on Lavelle Westbrooks to get open late in the second quarter and then accelerated away from 5’10”, 205 pound Isiah Lewis for a 69 yard touchdown.

It was an impressive display of athleticism, but it wasn’t quite on DAT’s level. The Oregon rookie was hit by Dre Kirkpatrick as he caught a punt at his own 20 yard line at the end of the first quarter. The former track star, unfazed by the contact, looped towards the right sideline and blazed by multiple Chiefs in the process for an 80 touchdown return. Thomas only played three snaps from scrimmage Thursday, but I would expect that number to climb in upcoming games.

Game Notes

- Conner Vernon caught his first professional touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter only to find out today that he had been cut by the Bengals.

- Despite recording a flashy unblocked sack, first round pick Darqueeze Dennard (36 snaps) struggled in all other facets of the game. The corner missed two tackles and yielded 20 yards on two of three targets for a -2.7 overall grade.

- 8 of the 11 backup linemen for the Chiefs finished with positive grades (Rishaw Johnson, J’Marcus Webb, and Jeff Linkenbach only negatives) and center Eric Kush led all Chiefs with a +3.5 overall grade.

PFF Game Ball

Malcolm Bronson did his best to shut down the Bengals air attack, collecting a +3.7 coverage grade in his first NFL game. For that reason he gets this game ball even though there was reason for excitement from a handful of players.

12 picks next year so we can continue in the 2nd year of the 5 year rebuilding plan

The 1st year was a band aid year for Hunt, this is the 1st year of the rebuild.

Im pretty jacked about the upcoming years.

Outside of the misfortune of having 1.1 in a shit year, Nico Johnson shitting the bed, and Commings inability to stay healthy, Dorsey knows how to spot talent and find diamonds in the rough.

12 picks is going to be AWESOME.

Hopefully the Chiefs dont actually use all 12 picks and actually make some trades, but given that Dorsey hasn't even sniffed a trade on draft day I'm not holding my breath.
