1 Kicker needed to compete against Cundiff and Novak.
That is 16 to 17 player positions needed to fill, either through the draft, college free agent selection, or free agency. It is unreasonable to think that ten of ten draft picks are dead-on selections and we can also have seven CFAs that meet all of the Chiefs needs. It seems that 3 or 4 additional free agent signings would help with the 2008 Kansas City Chiefs roster.
