I don't think that's nitpicking at all. With Omenihu unavailable, FAU needs to step it up, big time. But the Chiefs must have belief the pass rush will be okay since they didn't address it in the draft at all.

If fau hits and plays well we’re gonna be tough

There’s still some vet de guys available so that shouldn’t be a problem

Need another rb

Hey guys I get it but KC had a team with like 5 HOF players on it in the late 60's early 70's. And one of the best players on those teams isn't even in the HOF unfortunately.
[Reply]

Yeah we’ve discussed that some. Great teams. But if you’re telling me to pick the all time (from an individual year basis) roster, there is no way that roster can be without Patrick Mahomes. No way.
[Reply]

Yeah give me any Chiefs team from 2018 on against any Chiefs team from any years prior to that. Mahomes is so good he just tips the scale WAY too much for me to choose any team without him.

I don't know how you can truly compare the teams from that far back to the current. The speed of today versus the violence of yesteryears is so far apart that it makes it impossible.
[Reply]

You can’t. The 60s is going too far back.

It’s been said already but the 69 Chiefs’ center was 6’4” 236. That’s basically Mahomes. Imagine Mahomes at center going up against Chris Jones for 60 snaps lol it would be a merciless slaughter.

They’d have no answer for guys like Chris Jones, Mahomes, Kelce, Tyreek Hill. The league hasn’t seen guys like that yet.

The OL and DL I'd agree.

I do wonder if today's skill position players would be as effective against the old school, when you could just murder guys all over the field.

Bob Hayes was faster than Deion Sanders and Darrell Green and didn't destroy everyone.

If we're playing by the old rules? It might be different.

Context needs to be clarified in this discussion. The current generation of players would kill players from the 60's, 70s, and probably 80s. Most, if not all of this year's playoff teams would beat the '69 Chiefs - handily. What context are we discussing? The most talented roster ever or the most talented roster compared to the rest of the league?

couple that with no salary cap in those days and roster building was way easier.
[Reply]

Shit we are so stacked that we just signed the best punter in history on a min contract, just in case. Thanks again, Buffalo.
[Reply]

The roster is players only. I wonder how the 94 team would stack up? It had Montana.

Took a swing at roster projection. I think this is the up-to-date list after camp and UDFA signings (note - did not include minicamp invites).

I believe we have 98 players on the roster, and the roster size needs to be at 90, so there are 8 cuts to be made.

I believe there are 41 locks, 3 very likely, 20 players with a 50/50 shot, and 34 players with a less than 50/50 shot.

Combining the 41 locks and 3 very likely players, that leave 9 openings on the roster for 54 guys to fight over. That's crazy, and there's going to be serious talent that we cut!

I called out only 2 reasonable holes on our roster at this time:
Hole 1 - a veteran OT, which can easily be filled by signing Donovan Smith
Hole 2 - a RB 2/3, which may already filled by LRZ or our UDFA's. I would not be surprised to see a veteran RB brought in for camp to compete.

Veach was asked about possibly bringing back players like Smith (LT) or Hardman (WR), and he said they want to get through OTA's to see what they have, but as it stands they feel pretty good about what they have now.

Interesting that they feel Wanya and Kingsley may be enough at LT.
