I'm going to go over the various weaknesses in the roster and coaching staff, as well as addressing cap issues and potential moves for next year, including how likely they are given who our decision makers are.
# Let's start with the offense:
**QB:** ***Patrick Mahomes*** is the best quarterback in the league, full stop.
How the Chiefs should evaluate the remainder of this season — With the Chiefs all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, here’s a few adjustments that can be made for the remainder of the season that I think are critical for evaluating this team going into 2026:
- Esa Pole needs starting reps at RT going forward: if he can prove he’s capable of handling RT at an above average level, it guarantees Jawaan Taylor AND Jaylon Moore will be released saving a ton of cap space. Our starting 5 Oline would be set under contract for the foreseeable future.
[Sweeney] Chiefs are looking at the following offensive line vs. The Texans: LT Wanya Morris, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Mike Caliendo, RT Jaylon Moore.
[Gold] Jaylon Moore and Mike Caliendo are expected to start on the offensive line Monday night in place of Josh Simmons and Trey Smith

Best, Worst, and Most-likely scenarios for the upcomming season — Here are my projections for the upcoming Chiefs season. I will start by outlining a best (semi-realistic) scenario, a worst (semi-realistic) scenario, and then what I consider to be the most likely scenario.
First I will explain what I mean by best and worst “semi-realistic” scenarios. Obviously, it is possible that Kansas City gets very lucky, has several players make the jump to stardom, stays completely healthy, and goes undefeated. However, this is so unlikely that this possibility will no

53-Man Roster Predictions — Note: this list only contains players who are currently on the roster. The final 53 will probably include a couple of waiver wire pickups but there's no way for me to know who those will be.
I'm also including the reserve lists since at least two of those players can be eligible for the 53.
Edit: It looks like there were some last second reports about the roster as soon as I was about to post this, so I made sure to add those in.
QB's: Patrick Mahomes, Gardner Minshew

32 Team Mock Draft Results — Hey guys, I took part in a 32 team mock draft over the last few weeks where I was in charge of the Chiefs. I figured today would be a good day to post the results, since we're all just waiting around for the draft to start. I'm going to post the full results of round 1, but after that I will only post my own results for the Chiefs. It didn't go exactly how I planned, but I wouldn't hate it if these were the players we walked away with in real life! Let me know if you have any questions or critic

[Schneidman] This is incredible. Frank Caliendo prank called Cardinals GM Steve Keim as Jon Gruden hours before the draft on Thursday. Keim on @dpshow: “I felt like I did three or four trades with the Raiders and I had to call Mike Mayock and realize it wasn’t really them."
