I compiled the total number for snaps for all the defensive linemen. Some conclusions.

Of course like most other NFL teams, the Chiefs use many different alignments and personnel groups, depending on situation. The positional titles of DT and DE are somewhat arbitrary.
The Chiefs nominal defensive ends take more snaps than nominal defensive tackles. Jones alone takes almost half of the snaps of nominal defensive tackles.
Some of the "Nnadi is the worst ever" talk is hyperbole. He took more snaps, and played a higher percentage of downs when he was available, than many of other players on the DL.
I'm glad to have him back at the price until we can find someone better.

Defensive Tackles
Name/Snaps/percent of available played
Jones 915 80%
Wharton 149 44%
Saunders 421 39%
Nnadi 388 34%
Williams 83 24%
Stallworth 53 14%
Shelton 9 12%
Total: 2018

Defensive ends
Name/Snaps/percent of available played
Clark 717 69%
Karlaftis 730 64%
Danna 471 54%
Dunlap 572 50%
Henning 88 19%
Total: 2578
