Kansas City Chiefs 53-man roster predictions 2.0
The Kansas City Chiefs now have two preseason games down and the roster is becoming clear with only a few spots up for grabs.
Quarterbacks (3)
53-Man Roster Locks:
Patrick Mahomes
Blaine Gabbert
Shane Buechele
Missing the Cut:
Chris Oladokun
In both of my previous roster projections, I had the Chiefs only keeping Mahomes and Gabbert. Shane Buechele has won me over this preseason, so much so that I considered the possibility that they might move on from Gabbert. However, the NFL's new rule that says your third quarterback doesn't count against your game day actives is enough reason for me to believe the Chiefs will carry three guys at the most important position in football.
With Gabbert on just a one-year deal, I believe Buechele may graduate to the second QB spot next season and they'll find another young option to bring along behind him next offseason.
Next up, the running backs.
