Team Needs
1. Offensive Line
2. Wide Receiver
3. Safety
Both of their starting tackles will be free agents and even the optimists doubt both can be re-signed. Paying what the franchise will be paying quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the future will mean they need to keep re-stocking his bodyguards via the draft.
Key FA: OT Orlando Brown, S Juan Thornhill, OT Andrew Wylie

Depth Chart Fantasy Impact
The Chiefs completely re-made their WR corps this offseason. The big departure, of course, was WR Tyreek Hill. But Kansas City also lost WRs Byron Pringle and Demarcus Robinson. Those 3 combined for 42% of the team’s receiving yards and 46% of the receiving TDs last year.
Arriving in Kansas City are WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. Smith-Schuster’s career got off to a Hall-of-Fame worthy start, but he’s been a major disappointment the last 3 years. He turns just 26 in November. Valdes-Scantling was a dangerous deep threat in Green Bay the past 4 seasons, averaging 17.5 yards per catch. But he never topped 38 catches or 690 yards. Moore is a Round 2 rookie out of Central Michigan with inside/outside versatility.
The Chiefs swapped out Darrel Williams for Ronald Jones in the backfield. Jones was mistake-prone throughout 4 years in Tampa Bay and doesn’t offer much in the passing game. But he’s a talented runner who should push RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire for early-down work.
