2015

Marcus Peters: Still on the roster (All-Pro, 2x Pro Bowler)

Mitch Morse: Still on the roster

Chris Conley: Still on the roster

Steven Nelson: Still on the roster

D.J. Alexander: Still on the roster

James O’Shaughnessy: Still on the roster

Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Still on the roster

Da’Ron Brown: No longer a Chief

No doubt the biggest impact player here is Marcus Peters. Just no contest, the man has been a stud. Morse stepped in to fill the hole left by Rodney Hudson and nobody ever looked back. Conley is starting to turn into a reliable target in the passing game.

Nelson is becoming one of the better corners we have on defense. Alexander and Nunez-Roches have filled in nicely when needed. James O’Shaughnessy has not made any noise at all.

2016

Chris Jones: Still on the roster

KeiVarae Russell: No longer a Chief

Parker Ehinger: Still on the roster

Eric Murray: Still on the roster

Demarcus Robinson: Still on the roster

Kevin Hogan: No longer a Chief

Tyreek Hill: Still on the roster (All-Pro, Pro Bowl)

D.J. White: Still on the roster

Dadi Nicolas: Still on the roster

This was a pretty nice haul as well. We have barely scratched the surface with these men. I am excited to see where they go in their careers. The biggest impact player here is hands down, Tyreek Hill. The speed and athleticism this man possesses is inhuman. He can just run right by anyone who thinks they can tackle him.

His on-field impact is insane. Chris Jones has been a stellar choice so far. He stepped in when injury struck and earned himself a starting spot on the defensive line. Jones is going to turn into a true beast, just watch! Ehinger was brought in to compete on the offensive line and started strong. Here’s hoping he can be our man for years to come.

Everyone else on this list has not made much or any impact. Here’s hoping that they provide quality depth for us should they be called upon to step up. Well, that’s enough for this week I think. Come back next week where I will discuss the legacy of John Dorsey’s trades and free agency decisions. Thanks for reading, stay loud, and Go Chiefs!
