Every NFL Team's Biggest Need This Late in Free Agency
Kansas City Chiefs: Defensive Line
There's been plenty written about the changes the Kansas City Chiefs have undergone after the trades of quarterback Alex Smith and cornerback Marcus Peters and the addition of wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
The team's biggest problem isn't as talked about—or as new.
The Chiefs ranked 25th in run defense last year, allowing 118.1 yards a game. That was in large part because of a lack of push up front. The team's best run-stuffing lineman, Bennie Logan, hit free agency and hasn't been brought back, so the line is at the top of the offseason priority list.
That doesn't mean Kansas City is in position to do a lot about it. Compliments of the trade that landed Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs don't have a first-round pick. They also have only $8.3 million in cap space.
Whether it's a Day 2 pick or a value signing, Kansas City will need a bit of luck to find an impact player for the defensive line
