Chiefs are largely set at all positions but OT, RB, and LB

I figure the Chiefs are 3 players from their top 53. A runningback group of Charles, Jones, and McCluster could use a young veteran; maybe Battle re-ups? The Chiefs have no established depth at OT; it's unlikely the team can rely on one of their UDFAs to provide the depth they need. A veteran should at least be brought in to compete. And then, depending upon the health of Sheffield the Chiefs might want a 10th body at LB. Maybe they go with 7 D-linemen, but they've not done so since switching to a 3-4.

I'd say that were set at RB and LB

Of course any position can be upgraded but we def don’t have needs at RB and LB

they are getting close...

Most of the guys yet to be signed will be short-lived, camp fodder.

here’s my latest guess on the 53, with up-for-grabs spots in italics… not many left!

Offense (25)
(2) QB: Cassel, Stanzi
(4) RB: Charles, Jones, McCluster, Battle
(2) FB: Cox, Bannon
(5) WR: Bowe, Baldwin, Breaston, Tucker, Copper
(4) TE: Moeaki, Pope, O’Connell, Cottam (or Slate)
(3) OT: Albert, Richardson, O’Callaghan (or FA)
(3) OG: Waters, Lilja, Asamoah
(2) C: Weigmann, Hudson

Defense (25)
(2) NT: Powe, (FA)
(5) DE: Dorsey, Jackson, Gillberry, Bailey, Smith
(5) OLB: Hali, Studebaker, Sheffield, Houston, Miller
(4) ILB: DJ, Belcher, Cory Greenwood, Micah Johnson
(4) S: Berry, Lewis, Washington, McGraw
(5) CB: Flowers, Carr, Arenas, Daniels, Brown

Specialists (3): Succop, Colquitt, Gafford

to summarize the open jobs I see:

RB (Battle, McClain)
FB (McClain, Cox)
TE (Pope, Cottam, Slate, Gantt)
OT (O’Call or FA)
ILB (Mays, Micah or FA)

and of course #1 NT (Franklin?)

ALL of them are “depth” positions, other than NT… so we’re not desperate for any other starters, i don’t think

Must say that roster is looking very smexy

is DW gone or just not listed?

I don't start arguments, I provoke thinking. -Me
H^2-Hali and Houston

As of right now he is the best WILB back up we got

Mays can go quickly, do want to see what Micah can do though

of course

I am hoping Greenwood and Johnson step up into those backup roles this year.
I do admit it’s somewhat of a long-shot, though
