Projecting Chiefs’ starting lineup for 2020 after first week of free agency

What does the starting lineup in Kansas City look like after the first wave of free agency? Not much has changed for the Super Bowl champs.

The first wave of free agency is complete.

Teams across the league are beginning to take shape. Many teams will change with the 2020 NFL draft, including the Chiefs. The free agency period gives us an idea of the holes that Kansas City will seek to fill in the draft. All things considered, if the Chiefs had to trot a starting lineup out today, their starters from Super Bowl LIV remain mostly intact.

Here’s a look at the current projected starting lineup for Kansas City in 2020:

QB: Patrick Mahomes

I mean, really? Who else did you expect to be the starter? Mahomes has gone on a historic run since taking over for Alex Smith in 2018. He became the league MVP and Super Bowl MVP in back-to-back seasons. His awe-inspiring play should leave no doubt that he’ll be the starter in Kansas City for many years to come.
