Chiefs Draft Needs
- OL: The Chiefs have already started to address their offensive line, which was a glaring pain point during the team’s Super Bowl loss to the Buccaneers. They’ve added guard Joe Thuney and tackles Mike Remmers and Orlando Brown to protect their $500 million quarterback Patrick Mahomes and may add additional depth in the draft.
- DL/LB: Kansas City was below-average in sacks per game (2.0), ranking 19th in the NFL. They also allowed the 12th most rushing yards per game (122.1).
by Chris Raybon
- WR: After the departure of Sammy Watkins, the Chiefs are short on depth with only Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson and Byron Pringle behind Tyreek Hill.
- DE: Frank Clark posted a five-year low in sacks (6.0) last season. He and Chris Jones (7.5) were the only Chiefs with more than three sacks.
- LB: Anthony Hitchens and Ben Niemann ranked 69th and 80th, respectively, of 99 qualifiers in PFF’s linebacker grades.
