The linebacker position will be interesting for the Chiefs. We already know that they were on the hunt for a coverage linebacker in free agency. Those options have dwindled and I don’t expect they’ll sign one. Niemann was often utilized in nickel sub-packages alongside Sorensen. I’d like to see Dorian O’Daniel take a step up and play here, but I’m not sure he’s capable of beating out the competition.
