PFF grades for Chiefs week 7
After hearing Nate Taylor on “Only Weird Games” I think unless they get better clarity, the Chiefs almost have to think about a swing offensive lineman before the trade deadline — I’m not at all insensitive to whatever situation Josh Simmons is going through and don’t think as fans we are owed some explanation. However, I’m almost 47 years old and a Chiefs fan for 35 of those and I can say the complete lack of information or timeline is unprecedented.
I didn’t have any real worries until I heard Nate Taylor say “He MIGHT be back in months” like that might be a positive outcome. Offensive line depth is notoriously hard to find, trade for, or integrate midsession and unti
Roster Evaluation — Listen, I don't want to beat the dead horse but there are two serious problems that we've had for years that is finally catching up. Our talent evaluation has been terrible since the 2023 draft, especially on defense. We also are unable to sign any above average - elite players in free agency.
I'll be going through our recent drafts and current roster, feel free to read or not, I just want the discussion to be had.

Pick 1 (1,31) FAU - On IR, invisible when healthy. Arguably one of
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

The 5 Hardest Decisions NFL Teams Face ahead of the Off-Season (OC) — The 2024 season has just come to an end but just as quickly as the 2025 off-season began. Adding to the excitement, the cap ceiling rose beyond projections which gave every team a healthy boost in available space, giving a little more flexibility for cap tight teams. Now, the Patriots were always going to be able to outspend everyone else, but this will help teams over the limit and near the middle be a little more aggressive.
But before we can consider external free agency, the draft, or any
The Chiefs May Need to Reinvent Their Offense (An Off-season Breakdown) — [Hey guys, I do a lot of writing, so if you can appreciate the effort here I'll have a lot more going up throughout the off-season on my substack!](https://guidetoteambuilding.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/157279380?referrer=%2Fpublish%2Fhome)
It might be odd to suggest that a team that has been to three straight Super Bowls, won two, and just went 15-2, weren’t exactly great this year, but the Kansas City Chiefs may need to reinvent their offense.
Initially, they stayed ahead of the NFL

With all veterans across the NFL arriving at their team facilities for training camp, it’s time to look at the most interesting and/or meaningful competitions for starting jobs.

[Capaccio] Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said today that there's a "good chance" rookie Wanya Morris plays left tackle this week against Bills. It would be Morris' first NFL start. He played 46 snaps last week filling in for Donovan Smith. Had played 8 snaps prior to that.
