Latest Chiefs Depth Chart With NFL Roster Cuts Coming

almost makes me sick every time I look at who we have, and what our depth looks like.

I think he should be cut, he looked extra slow last night and you can give his carries to McClain

I sure hope the wanted to see as much of Palko as possible so they could see they need to cut him, and not that they did not want anymore tape of Stanzi because Pioli is going to try and hide him on the practice squad. I don’t think he would clear waivers.

Harr, Ingersol, B. Greenwood, Patterson, Gantt, Horne, Markhausen, Gordon, Ayodele, Kamara, Cole, Demond Washington, Piscitelli, Price, Walters.

I’d be very surprised if more than 1 guy in this group makes the 53. I’d surprised if more than 2 make the PS. After these, the choices get tougher. And then there are everyone else’s cuts. I can see us picking up three guys out of waivers at least, heavily leaning towards OL and QB here.

Are guys I dont like seeing in the starting slots of the depth chart.

I know it has been asked before but I don’t remember and I would like to see Bair make the 53.

There are going to be a lot of people cut and then other teams will pick up the guys that were cut. The typical response is, well why do you want him he was cut so clearly he is awful.

I hate that response. There can be many reasons behind why the guy was cut, none that connects to how they will preform on a new team. Let it play out if we get some guys that were cut from another team w/o saying “well something must be wrong b/c he was cut”

I would give a 2nd round pick up to have a top 10 linebacker core

I wrote the cut down time was 3:00 CT but it’s actually 5:00 CT. That’s my bad.

The 26th and 27th players you cut are probably guys that could contribute.

Good thing is that some teams cuts will be better then who we currently have…so Pioli needs to be on his toes and swoop in like an owl at night.

We had three questionable starters on this team headed into the offseason in Studebaker, Belcher and Richardson. All three are young, all three are developing players and all three are at the point where their development curve is either going to go up or flatline.

I loved the move that they made to bring in Siler to compete with Belcher even though it didn’t work out perfectly because of the unexpected injury. The key was the thought process behind it. Bring in a guy who’s on par(or nearly on par) with the guy that’s a questionable starter and let the competition help with both players development and in turn improve the starter and depth at that position. But for some reason they didn’t do that with BRich or Studebaker. Both Stude and Richardson were basically handed the starting job and you can tell and not in a good way.

There’s no specific RT competition behind Richardson although if Gaither works out he could be slotted there(played alot of snaps there last night but clearly struggled with the footwork reversal). Richardson’s play this year has dropped off and I think it’s because of the lack of competition.

Studebaker is an awful early down SOLB. I know alot of people around here like him and he’s easy to cheer for because he’s a good character/high effort guy but he’s terrible in any running situation. Even worse is the additional playing time seems to be negatively affeting what he was actually good at before which was third down passing situations. This is where Haley’s attitude about veterans and Crennels attitude about wanting guys who do things right is going to cost us. Being high effort and doing everything technically right is great but it doesn’t necesarily make for good results. There’s two younger guys on the roster who are clearly already better then him but they won’t get the opportunity to show it. The only thing saving that side of the field from being a big gaping hole for oppsing teams running games is the best open field tackling CB in the game and the best young SS in the game.

I’m hoping the staff at least brings in a veteran player to compete at SOLB to take some snaps away from Andy and split time with him or we need to unleash Sheffield and Houston and let them learn on the fly like we’ve done with other players.

What’s even more concerning about the SOLB situation is the development of the guy in front of that spot. TJax was starting to come on but having a weakness at SOLB is forcing him to compensate and go outside of his duties to make up for that weakness. That’s affecting his play and his consistency which we can’t afford because we need all three guys on that dline to be effective to have any chance at a good defense this year.
