Kpass is a backup, yes, but he put up 4 sacks in a limited role as a backup which isn't bad. I don't know where you see this "conversation" that there's talk of him being cut, but I guarantee it's BS. He's making $1.3 million this year and there are far bigger cap hits that could be gotten rid of to free up salary.
Saying Suggs was such a big improvement is a huge stretch. We were already trending up on defense at that point and we only added Suggs after Ogbah was out for the season. He did alright.
Again, I'm sure it would be nice to find another DE at some point. But that player is most likely a backup/rotational player. And DT is almost assuredly set, unless Jones is traded. So calling DL an area of major concern, or however you worded it, is incorrect.

Okafor is a broke dick and can only be counted on limited production his entire career with 3 different teams.
He has been in the NFL 7 years and only played a full season 1 time.
He is coming off yet another injury.
Kpass is trash. He has been here for 3 years and was a healthy scratch the last few games of the Super Bowl season.
“Unfortunately for the Chiefs there is evidence to wonder whether that day will ever come. After playing in all 16 games last season, Kpassagnon played in only 13 games his season. Even worse, he was a healthy inactive down the stretch. At a time where he could have been earning key reps and growing into his third offseason, Kpassagnon was left behind by a team that couldn’t afford for him to still figure things out.”
That’s why Adam Teicher also recently offered up Kpassagnon as the Chiefs player who could most use a change of scenery. He writes:
He appears unlikely to fulfill the potential the Chiefs believed he had when they drafted him in the second round in 2017. Last year, the Chiefs felt compelled to trade up to draft Breeland Speaks, who plays the same position. He was a healthy scratch for two of the final three games in the regular season and one in the playoffs.”

It makes sense the Chiefs would draft a replacement starter
