Players Currently On The Roster:

Jamaal Charles (starter)
Knile Davis
Cyrus Gray
Joe McKnight

Anthony Sherman (starter)
Jordan Campbell
Eric Kettani

Would the Chiefs be okay if they started the season with just the players they currently have?

Yes. Charles and Sherman are both great starters at their positions and Knile Davis proved himself as capable of starting should Charles be unavailable. The only possible issue would be if KC was worried about Davis’ health coming off of his broken leg in the playoff game. If there is a question mark about his availability then the need to draft one would go up.

Would the Chiefs prefer to get an upgraded starter at this position?

No.

Are the Chiefs in need of adding depth or a long term replacement player at this position?

Only if Knile Davis has injury complications.

Draft Need Rating: 2 (if Davis is 100%) or 6 (if Davis is a ?)
