I just don't see a place on this team for Skyy Moore, especially considering the ascension of Nikko Remigio.
Toney is a very divisive topic. I think they hold on to him just because of the flashes he's shown, but I wouldn't be floored if they decide to trade/cut him. He's just not consistent enough, and he lost Mahomes' trust last season. Pulling for BJ Thompson (for obvious reasons) as well. If he can come back to form, his speed with FAU could be a pleasant surprise for the defense. |

It might not be the sexiest but if one player emerges and just looks like an instant starter that guy would hopefully be Kingsley

That's an outstanding list.
The player who probably deserves to be at the top of it though is Xavier Worthy. Is this guy ready to be an added component and allow this offense to make a massive jump? Or is he probably just a Hardman-level gadget guy for the season. I'd add Hunter Nourzad to the list, and Matt Araiza. Nourzad has a front row seat to replacing either Humphrey or Smith next year. (I'm actually sneakily high on CJ Hanson, too, who looks to me like an LDT clone.) Araiza because he had to beat out top-end UDFA competition, so let's see what his holding/pinning is made of. FAU is going to be hugely important to watch, too. By re-signing Danna, the Chiefs have clearly communicated that they're simply not comfortable with FAU playing starter-level snaps at DE while we wait on Omenihu's return. Two young guys in the secondary, as well: Trey Dean, a highly touted prospect that the Chiefs have somehow nabbed at safety, and Kelvin Joseph, a former 2nd round pick who did diddly squat with the Cowboys but Veach clearly likes. If you want to get weeds-ier, I was a big Truman Jones guy, and the Chiefs elected to keep him on the practice squad all year. I thought he might push BJ Thompson for the final DE spot, now I'd like to see if he can take a jump and push Malik Herring. Fabian Lovett was maybe the best UDFA the Chiefs picked up. I think he has starter-level potential, and that 1-tech position is wiiiiiiiiiiiide open for him to win. I'd also like to see what Carson Wentz brings. Is he a Moore/Henne level replacement, or is he going to be a Gabbert level crapshow. Niang is completely on his last legs, and I think he ends up getting cut. Does he offer anything salvageable this year. When I went to camp last year, I thought Deneric Prince was the best non-future-HOF player on the field. (They were not yet wearing pads.) Does that player still exist? Because RB3 is also wiiiiiiiiide open. Keith Taylor looked really good in preseason last year, and his value as an athletic, 6'3" corner is sky high if he can hit. Ekow Boye-Doe looked super good too. |

But wait I saw Niang catch a tennis ball in slow motion while stepping backwards clearly he's in the best shape of his life

Let's hope Veach's idea to needlessly trade up for Kingsley just to boost his confidence pays off.

I'm very curious how "needless" you think it was and how you know that from your couch

No one should be surprised that Hardman didn't develop into anything more than a gadget guy. I'll be really surprised if Xavier Worthy becomes a gadget guy. |

Losing Perez was the biggest media loss we Chiefs fans have ever had. Brook Pryor was the biggest media loss we Chiefs fans have ever had, but bigger in a different way. |

You'll have to ask Nate Taylor. He's the one who wrote it shortly after the draft. He suspected that Veach traded up when he didn't need to, in order to "demonstrate the Chiefs' commitment to him".

I like Nate Taylor but he is like consistently wrong about people when someone asks his opinion. He reminds me of Mitch Holthus and also Clay Wendler lol just always wrong

Ethan Driskell is a nice size/speed tackle that we got from the undrafted pool that Dane Brugler thought would be a 5th or 6th rd pick. They said they almost drafted him instead of Nourzad I the post draft presser.
Driskell is going to win that last tackle spot and boot Niang’s fat ass to the curb
