The Kansas City Chiefs made a pair of roster moves, so it’s time to update our 90-man offseason depth chart ever so slightly.
We still haven’t had an opportunity to see players hit the field as NFL facilities remain closed to players. That means holdovers from the 2019 season will have an advantage in our depth chart projections. Some draft picks will also have an advantage based on draft status and what we’ve learned about them thus far from the players, coaches and staff.
Here are our latest updated projections for the offseason depth chart:
Offense (44)
| Pos. | First | Second | Third | Fourth |
| QB | Patrick Mahomes | Chad Henne | Jordan Ta’amu | Shea Patterson |
| RB | Damien Williams | Clyde Edwards-Helaire | Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson, DeAndre Washington | Eljiah McGuire |
| FB | Anthony Sherman | John Lovett | ||
| WR | Tyreek Hill | Demarcus Robinson, Byron Pringle | Kalija Lipscomb, Maurice Ffrench | Aleva Hifo, Andre Bacellia |
| WR | Sammy Watkins | Mecole Hardman, Gehrig Dieter | Jody Fortson, Justice Shelton-Mosley | Cody White |
| TE | Travis Kelce | Deon Yelder | Ricky Seals-Jones | Nick Keizer |
| LT | Eric Fisher | Greg Senat | Yasir Durant | |
| LG | Andrew Wylie | Martinas Rankin | Jovahn Fair | |
| C | Austin Reiter | Nick Allegretti | Darryl Williams | |
| RG | Laurent Duvernay-Tardif | Lucas Niang | Ryan Hunter | |
| RT | Mitchell Schwartz | Mike Remmers | Jackson Barton |
Observations:
- WR Felton Davis was placed on waivers with a non-football injury designation. That leaves the offense at 44 players total. His departure is the only change on the offensive side of the ball.
- Chiefs RB coach Deland McCullough has made it clear that everyone is competing in his room. Damien Williams won’t win the job by default as the veteran. Until we see these guys on the field, it’s hard to tell who will get the nod.
- I keep coming back to the receiver position and one player I’m often thinking about is Gehrig Dieter. He spent the entire 2019 offseason training with Tyreek Hill and pushing himself. A back injury derailed his progress and almost cost him the season with Kansas City. What does his future look like with the Chiefs? Keep in mind, the team brought in six receivers in undrafted free agency.
- No changes right now to the projections for the offensive line. I still tend to believe that Lucas Niang will play tackle and not guard, but we can only go on what we’ve been told.
