Way-too-early 53-man roster projection for Chiefs

It’s early, but let’s try and predict the 53-man roster in Kansas City for the 2020 season.

2 Sammy Watkins
3 Mecole Hardman
4 Demarcus Robinson
5 Byron Pringle
6 Gehrig Dieter

This group is basically staying unchanged from the past season. While I wanted to give a spot to new UDFA signing, Vanderbilt WR Kalija Lipscomb, I feel like the players who have already been in the system will have a big advantage with an abbreviated offseason. They might not even have preseason games to show their talents amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Many UDFA’s will simply be battling for a chance at a practice squad spot.

I chose Dieter over others like Jody Fortson and Felton Davis because of his value on special teams.
