Figured I would put together a visual of our current roster. A few notes below:
We have 66 guys on the Active Roster.
In my opinion, we have 35 virtual roster locks, meaning we have 18 openings to fill via FA, Draft, UDFA, or Trade to reach a 53-man roster.
In my opinion, we have a pool of 8 roster spots (not holes) we should look to upgrade (in no order):
1- Running Back #3 (Perine)
2- Tight End #3 (Smith)
3- Wide Receiver #5 (Toney)
4- Wide Receiver #6 (Moore)
5- Wide Receiver #7 [if we keep 7] (Ross)
6- Tackle #3
or #4 (Niang)
7- Cornerback #6 (Boye-Dowe)
8- DE/Edge #5 (Dickerson)
In my opinon, we have 9 open holes that need to be filled (in no order):
1- Left Tackle #1
2- Running Back #2
3- Tight End #2
or #3
4- Tackle #4
or #5 (swing)
5- Guard #3 (swing)
6- Wide Receiver #4
7- Linebacker #5
8- Safety #5
9- Quarterback #2
In my opinion, we have a pool of 10 roster-worthy former Chiefs who might return via FA (in no order):
- Donovan Smith
- Jack Cochrane
- Mike Danna
- Blaine Gabbert
- Jerrick McKinnon
- Nazeeh Johnson
- Clyde Edwards-Helaire
- Mecole Hardman
- Richie James
- Prince Tega-Wanagho
We are in wave 2 or 3 of Free Agency, and
here's a link to the top available Free Agents still available.
We currently have 7 picks in the upcoming draft, and then UDFA's to choose from.
