There's so much intrigue this year with how this roster will shape up. It's going to be hard to limit it to 3.
1) OL - How's the offensive line going to shake out? Which of these players will emerge as the starters? (positions listed based on Chiefs web site, but obviously not set yet)
C - Rudy Niswanger, Wade Smith
G - Brian Waters, Chris McDuffie
T - Travis Leffew, Tre Stallings, Herb Taylor, Barry Richardson, Ian-Yates Cunningham, Will Svitek, Adrian Jones, Branden Albert, Damion McIntosh, Anthony Alabi
2) CB (although I could say the entire secondary) - Which young CBs will catch on faster? Will they make a bigger impact than our ragtag group from last year? So far, we're looking at these options:
Brandon Flowers, Dimitri Patterson, Patrick Surtain, Maurice Leggett, Tyron Brackenridge, Rashard Barksdale, Brandon Carr
3) WR - Will anyone emerge as a viable threat opposite Bowe? Can 2 of these guys step up so Brodie has options at both wideouts, the slot, and TE?
Luke Swan, Jabari Arthur, Kevin Robinson, Maurice Price, Jeff Webb, Bobby Sippio, Will Franklin, Devard Darling
And that's not even getting to all the other questions:
Will we find a gem or two among all the undrafted rookies we looked at?
Will Cottam replace Dunn?
Will someone emerge as a real kicker?
Will someone step up at LDE?
Will competition make Pollard reach his potential, or will Morgan beat him out of a job?
Will Tank / Turk step up their game this year?
Will Demorrio Williams see the field and make an impact?
Who wins the return duties, and will they actually go forward on returns?
And those are just some of the questions off the top of my head...there are still a ton more questions as I think about our roster going into training camp...
