Brisco Cornerback (5) Trent McDuffie, L'Jarius Sneed, Jaylen Watson, Joshua Williams, Nic Jones I may be in the minority with my expectation that Tranquill will out-snap Chenal this season, and I'd like to keep the aforementioned Prince Tega Wanogho or former Kansas State cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, but Cochrane's ability to contribute on special teams and provide depth at a physical position likely earns him a roster spot. Personally, I'd be tempted to take my chances with only four linebackers with the expectation that Jack Cochrane could land on KC's practice squad, but it seems unlikely that the Chiefs will enter the year with a four-man group. Linebacker (5) Nick Bolton, Willie Gay Jr., Drue Tranquill, Leo Chenal, Jack Cochrane I'll give Niang the slight edge, but the end of the o-line depth chart is one place I see actual competition through the rest of training camp and the preseason. In a vacuum, I would try to sneak Kinnard to the practice squad for a chance to develop off the active roster in favor of more athleticism from Niang and Wanogho, but with his move to the interior, Niang and Wanogho become a bit redundant as a pair of backup tackles. But in the gauntlet of a Super Bowl-caliber roster crunch, we struggled to find room for all three of KC's young developmental o-linemen who haven't shown much at the pro level: Darian Kinnard, Lucas Niang and Prince Tega Wanogho. The first seven offensive linemen listed above (the five starters plus rookie tackle Wanya Morris and do-it-all interior lineman Nick Allegretti) are stone-cold locks. Foote Offensive line (9)ĭonovan Smith, Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Jawaan Taylor, Wanya Morris, Nick Allegretti, Darian Kinnard, Lucas Niang I'll err on the side of that happening for now, although it's easy to envision a four-man tight end room once the season actually starts. Because he's a vested veteran, though, he wouldn't be subject to waivers and Kansas City could simply re-sign him after making another procedural move elsewhere. If Jody Fortson recovers from his shoulder injury in time for the regular season and doesn't need to go on the injured reserve list, Blake Bell could be the odd man out.
