Assumptions:

1. All staff is retained.

2. S Eric Berry retires.

3. The Chiefs extend Sean Smith 3 years, $24m ($8m guaranteed).

4. The Chiefs sign C Rodney Hudson 4 years, $20m ($6m guaranteed), OLB Justin Houston 6 years, $94m ($48m guaranteed), S Ron Parker 3 years, $6m ($500k guaranteed).

5. OLB Josh Martin is tendered.

6. The Chiefs sign the following players to minimal deals: TE Demerius Harris, ILB Josh Mauga, S Kurt Coleman, LS Thomas Gafford

7. The Chiefs cut: QB Chase Daniel, WR Donnie Avery, WR AJ Jenkins, TE Anthony Fasano, OT Donald Stephenson, DE Mike DeVito, OLB Tamba Hali, CB Marcus Cooper, K Cairo Santos

8. The Chiefs let walk: RB Joe McKnight, WR Jason Avant, WR Junior Hemingway, WR Frankie Hammond, TE Richard Gordon, OT Ryan Harris, OG Jeff Linkenbach, OG Mike McGlynn, DE Kevin Dickerson, CB Chris Owens, S Kelcie McCray

9. The Chiefs sign the following free agents: WR Jermaine Kearse 3 years, $15m ($6m guaranteed), TE Lance Kendricks 2 years, $5m, NT Kendrick Ellis 2 years, $4m.

10. Compensatory picks: 3rd, 5th, 5th, 7th

On with the show:

1.18. WR Dorial Green-Beckham, Oklahoma

The Chiefs need to aggressively work towards fixing their WR corps. Jermaine Kearse is a major step towards fixing that: a starting lineup of Bowe, Kearse, Wilson, and Thomas is probably enough to give defenses issues. But this is the team's major investment for the future.

Green-Beckham is an effort to potentially solve the Dwayne Bowe Problem. Bowe doesn't sync with Alex Smith and costs too much. DGB needs a lot of work, but does possess better speed, size, and the ability to be a force as a possession receiver AND as a deep threat.

The Chiefs know how to handle projects. They just drafted a major project last year in Dee Ford and he has been coming along well, racking up basically 4 sacks and a FF in two games' worth of work. DGB's ceiling is much higher.

2.49. OLB Markus Golden, Missouri

If a talent like Golden falls, the Chiefs must pounce. This team needs as much passrushing ability in the wake of cutting Hali as possible. Ford looks promising, but has essentially only played two games worth of snaps.

3.80. OG Tre' Jackson, Florida State

The advantage of having Jeff Allen around is that he can play both tackle and guard, allowing the Chiefs to take the best lineman available.

3.100. FS Kurtis Drummond, Michigan State

Abdullah will be a free agent next year.

4.115. CB Steven Nelson, Oregon State

Marcus Cooper and Chris Owens are gone -- not a huge loss, but it leaves the cupboard bare.

5.154. K Roberto Aguayo, Florida State

5.173. ILB Stephone Anthony, Clemson

5.176. ILB Tony Washington, Oregon

6.195. NT Brandon Ivory, Alabama

7.233. CB SaQwan Edwards, New Mexico

7.255. RB Dreamius Smith, West Virginia
