More Proof Chiefs Have Work To Do At WR from ESPN
Bigger, stronger receivers are more capable of shucking physical coverage and making catches in a larger radius, thus giving the quarterback more room for error. That's accepted fact in the NFL, not opinion...
...The Bills led the league with an average height of 6-2. Of more interest to you, the Chiefs came in next to last at slightly less than 5-11 1/2. And that doesn't even count rookie De'Anthony Thomas, who should be playing at least some as a slot receiver but is being listed for the time being as a running back.
Thomas is 5-9.

Better or worse? Better. We're predicting Hali and Derrick Johnson continue to play well and Houston to stay in the lineup and have a big season. It's a big win if the Chiefs get a lot from Ford.

Influx Of Rookie QBs Makes Veteran Arms Expendable from CBS Sports
The Chiefs' backup quarterback situation intrigues me as well. I know backup Chase Daniel lacks ideal size and build and all of that, but I know a lot of quarterback coaches and coordinators who think very highly of him and believe he could be a starting quarterback in this league. I love the pairing of draft pick Aaron Murray and Kansas City coach Andy Reid, and I suspect Murray develops quite quickly under his tutelage. Some believe Murray could end up as a Russell Wilson type, and one thing Reid displayed during his long campaign in Philadelphia is that he was never afraid to keep drafting passers, helping them evolve and then trading his starter or his backup if he felt it would make his club better.
So does the house get crowded in Kansas City sooner than expected?
NFL Power Rankings: Post-Draft Edition from Sports Illustrated
17. Kansas City
Last we saw the Chiefs, they were busy bumbling away a 28-point lead en route to a playoff loss at Indianapolis. On that outcome alone, I'm going to request that they win us all over again as contenders, even more so after their O-line was depleted this offseason. Fair? Maybe not, but I don't make the power rankings rules. (I totally make the rules. Rule No. 1: Do not talk about Write Club, which is what I call professional journalism.)
