Joshua Kaindoh, defensive end
A guy can only be called “developmental” for so long without actually, y’know, developing, and if the Chiefs aren’t seeing what they need to see from Kaindoh this offseason—and/or if they find a couple of young guys they like in this draft class—it will be time to move on from Joshua Kaindoh.
The Chiefs invested a fairly high pick in Kaindoh in the first place as a college player with all of the assets a team at the pro level would want to see on paper sans production. He looked the part in terms of frame and length with a combination of burst, athleticism, and strength that cannot be taught. Teams picking at the bottom of every round have to take swings as the Chiefs did on Kaindoh in order to stay competitive for the long haul.
Kaindoh, however, has produced zero stats in only three games at the pro level in his first two years, and given his lack of production at Florida State as well, it might be time to call it. This year, the Chiefs will undoubtedly add an edge to the mix in this year’s draft class and there’s already room on the roster for one. But if two or more are taken, it might Kaindoh’s time to leave.
