Analysis: A very difficult early season schedule, including a heartbreaking loss to the Broncos, has the Chiefs in this predicament, but they might right the ship soon. However, Eric Fisher is unlikely to right his own ship and it is time for the Chiefs to move on from their former No. 1 overall draft pick tackle. I'm certain that GM John Dorsey will look to build along the defensive front, which means finding an impact defensive lineman. The Chiefs love 2015 first-round cornerback Marcus Peters, but landing a bookend or a quality third cornerback could be a priority.

3. Kansas City Chiefs - Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State
The Alex Smith experiment has to end now. Smith's struggles haven't all been his fault, but it's clear by now that he's not the answer. He is a weak-armed quarterback who never takes chances downfield. Kansas City needs to move on from him.
I keep bouncing back and forth between Connor Cook and and Jared Goff as the No. 1 quarterback. Goff just had a poor showing, so I'll move Cook into the top spot, though it's 50-50 right now. Cook has some accuracy and consistency issues that NFL teams are legitimately worried about.
