Chiefs are going to have to make a bunch of cuts before signing many rookies, We also have several camp invites that might be signed.

I wish someone would cut a speed rushing DE that we could sign.

Fortson probably starts on the PUP as well. You can cut a DB, or move him to the PS, when you bring him back. |

Probably not. If Frank does get suspended, it will be for a few games. |

Counting the players
Chiefs had - 73 Players on roster prior to the 2022 draft +1 Traded for CB Lonnie Johnson -1 Cut WR Chris Finke (Already signed with Bears) +13 Added UDFAs 86 total players under contract. (Counted Orlando Brown Jr even though he has not signed tag.) Still to come. Chiefs have 10 draft picks to sign. If we add any mini-camp players, we have to stay under 90 total on roster |

I was looking at Jerrion Ealy's tape earlier and this kid looks like a more dynamic version of Damian Williams. I am very surprised how he wasn't drafted. His tape looks better than most running backs in this draft class.

- DL remains awful. Karlaftis improves us against the run but doesn't develop into a decent pass rusher, Clark remains Clark, Saunders is injured and Nnadi is turd. - Secondary struggles with a number of new players and moving parts. Reid is more like the Reid of last year than his rookie year. Cook is poor in coverage. McDuffie's length means he can't cover elite WRs with size. Williams and others never develop. - Chenal never steps up and remains a limited run stuffer - Offence falls back somewhat. Moore becomes a limited slot guy only. There are a lot of people struggling to pick up the playbook and lots of mediocrity. The best case scenario looks something like. - DL improves with Karlaftis immediately upgrading the unit and increasing QB pressure. Ingram comes back early for a full year and offers the same energy and production as last year (he WAS good). Nnadi at least gets back to some run-stuffing form. - LB group improves with Chenal immediately murdering RBs and offering relentless blitz pressure. Gay takes a step forward in his coverage. - Secondary is dramatically better. McDuffie is an immediate lockdown corner, Williams quickly becomes a competent CB and matches up against bigger WRs (f you Mike Williams). Reid returns to rookie form, Thornhill and Cook flourish. Overall Spags uses these versatile chess pieces effectively to create havoc. - Moore thrives in the system quickly moving from reliable slot to genuine elite all-rounder. MVS and Juju combine with him to become a lethal three-way threat. Mecole is last year's playoff version. Hell, Ross makes the roster and balls out, who knows. In terms of short and long-term, I think we've got to temper expectations early on. There's a LOT of new players and a lot of rookies. I'm expecting it to start rough and for the first half of the season to be a grind, with the hope that it begins to click later on and not too late. |

I believe there's more of a chance for the upside than disaster. I think you make a key point: Overall Spags uses these versatile chess pieces effectively to create havoc . We had a lot of one-trick ponies last year and a lot of underperformers. From what we've been told, the draft class is a bunch of athletic smart guys that Spags is already planning for. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Think the biggest risk right now is the DL. I feel pretty confident that the secondary just has so many numbers that surely some of them will stick and be decent. Last year we were ruined by just a couple of obvious weak links, and it's difficult to see how we can't be better in those spots. We had over 1,000 snaps from Sorensen last year that we won't have to endure and unless Lonnie Johnson gets them all, we're getting better there. We had god knows how many snaps with Hitchens and Niemann being complete ass. If they don't all go to Carter we should be good. I suppose that's the one risk, Spags doesn't always spot the blindingly obvious when it comes to player talent and performance. |

How does ESPN determine their depth charts?
Now they’ve got Chenal behind Carter again and McDuffie starting. |
