Many people need their coffee to get up and going in the morning.  Here at Arrowhead Addict, we understand that for a Chiefs fan, coffee is simply not enough.

Here’s all that’s happening around Chiefs Kingdom today.

Welcome to The Morning Fix.

Good morning, Addicts.

Adam Teicher has his breakdown of the Chiefs schedule.

"The Chiefs have an early stretch with four of five games on the road. Included are road games against Denver, the San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers and a home game against the New England Patriots. They could be buried by the time this stretch ends on Oct. 19. If they can find a way to win two of those games, including a matchup with the Dolphins in Miami, the Chiefs might be able to survive."

Evan Silva has his breakdown of the Chiefs ready for us to consume.

"The Chiefs predictably let incumbent FS Kendrick Lewis leave without a fight, and salary-cap constraints prevented them from replacing him before the draft. Converted cornerback Sanders Commings is currently penciled in at free safety. It’s a position at which Kansas City figures to use a high draft pick, perhaps as early as No. 23 overall. As SS Eric Berry is at his best playing close to the line of scrimmage, Bob Sutton’s defense could use a rangy safety to roam center field."

KC Kingdom’s Leigh Oleszczak took a look at the Chiefs’ 2011 draft.

"The Chiefs may have drafted some snoozers in 2011, but they also did extremely well in the second and third rounds. One of the players drafted has proved to be a huge force on the defensive side of the ball and will be a dominant player in Kansas City for years to come."

Matt Derrick of Chiefs Spin does a little “rosterology” heading into the draft.

"Based on Reid’s statements at the offseason workout press conference, Rishaw Johnson edges ahead of Rokevious Watkins in the race for the starting right guard spot. However, this remains one of the most volatile and competitive position on the team, with no guarantee Johnson or Watkins will win the battle or that both players will necessarily make the team. Guard is certainly a position the Chiefs may target in next month’s draft."

Joel Thorman gives his thoughts on the Chiefs’ schedule.

"My vote for the worst game might be Chiefs-Raiders Thursday night in Week 12. I’m not a huge Thursday Night Football fan, coming off the short week and all, but add in that it’s in Oakland … ugh. It’s great they’re in primetime and all but I’m sure that will be an ugly game because, you know, Oakland. Also because most Thursday night games are ugly."

– R.I.P. net neutrality.
