Terez Paylor's Chiefs' Draft Needs
Positions needed: RB, G, C, LB, CB Analysis: The defending Super Bowl champions head into 2020 with a motto of “run it back,” and the team’s offseason plan has reflected that. Kansas City re-signed several key players from its championship team, betting on continuity in a COVID-19-affected season as the Chiefs currently have everyone who played at least 57 percent of the snaps last season under contract for 2020. That doesn’t mean there isn’t room to strengthen the roster. Offensively, the Chiefs are powered by an explosive offense guided by Mahomes, but there’s a need to bolster the interior of the line to grow with Mahomes and help protect him for the next decade. Beyond that, Super Bowl hero Damien Williams returns to man the running back position, but he’s in a contract year and the team could draft a young back and groom him to take the reins in 2021. Defensively, the Chiefs need second-level help — a sideline-to-sideline linebacker with skills in pass coverage could carve out an immediate role — while the cornerback position would also benefit from the infusion of a top-100 draft pick. And with Mahomes’ massive extension looming, don’t be surprised if Kansas City entertains a trade down in the first round in an attempt to stockpile more cost-controlled assets. |

Wisnewski looked good because he's a veteran that's played in Reid's WCO under Pederson but he was hardly anything special and average at best. I can definitely see the Chiefs adding a Center/Guard guy later in the draft and as I've said repeatedly, I'm hoping they trade out of the first round and pick up an additional 5th or 6th because Reid's has a track record of success with offensive lineman, especially in the 6th. The other thing to keep in mind is because of the inability to re-check and give physicals to players coming off of injury, there's going to be a mad scramble to sign undrafted guys, so there's a better than good chance that they'll hit on at least one developmental offensive lineman that could pay dividends late this season or next. But unless they take a guy early, the offensive line will probably be Fisher/Rankin/Reiter/LDT/Schwartz, barring injury, to start the season. It would be nice to see them healthy for at least 12 of their 16 games, which is something we haven't seen in a while. |

I'd love to see interior OL addressed to protect the investment. Linebacker is most pressing need on defensive side of the ball. G, or C should come in one of the early rounds.

I want the Chiefs to draft 5 stud players that all end up All-Pro and in the HOF someday.

The most important we have to do is protect Patrick Mahomes. The better our offensive line the more dangerous Mahomes is and the safer Mahomes. We don't want our young QB getting slapped around. After last year, you know teams #1 goal is going to be knocking Mahomes around.
Center or Guard or both need to be upgraded. I wish we would have kept Wisniewski, he was a solid guy for cheap. |
