DE Taco Charlton

The newest addition to the Chiefs’ defensive line came by way of Dallas and Miami. Charlton hasn’t yet lived up to his first-round draft status, but now that he is reunited with former Michigan Wolverines teammate Frank Clark, expectations are high. Clark even thinks he can help turn Charlton into a legend.

Charlton’s contract suggests that he isn’t a lock to make the Chiefs, but I’m interested to see where he opens up on the depth chart. Is he going to push to take second-team snaps ahead of someone like Breeland Speaks? This is now a contract year for Charlton, so he should be more motivated than ever to make things work in Kansas City and secure a big payday.
