Defensive end (5):
| Depth | Player |
| 1 | Frank Clark |
| 2 | Alex Okafor |
| 3 | Tanoh Kpassagnon |
| 4 | Taco Charlton |
| 5 | Mike Danna |
The addition of Taco Charlton puts a player like Breeland Speaks on notice. If he wants to keep his job, he’ll have to impress in a big way. I could see the Chiefs trying to trade him ahead of 53-man roster cuts if he doesn’t turn it around. I still have new Chiefs draft pick, Michigan DE Mike Danna, edging out Demone Harris for the No. 5 spot on the defensive end group. I could see Kansas City rolling with six defensive ends and cutting from somewhere else to keep Speaks or Harris, but the Charlton signing definitely makes things a lot more competitive with this group.
