I went into this mock with two assumptions that I had to work around. First, that Hopkins wasn't coming to KC, leaving a position group with some talent deep but not talented at the top. The Chiefs clearly wanted a jump-ball stud as they chased Hopkins, and Mike Evans will be begging to leave that team by October. Veach finally goes and gets his guy.
The other assumption was that Jawaan Taylor simply isn't working out as a left tackle prospect. And if that's the case, it's very hard for me to see what the Chiefs are going to do. Surely they didn't bring on Wanya Morris to start at left tackle, but if Taylor isn't capable of manning the position, they're going to have to go up and get a guy who they think can.
In this mock, that's Reuben Fatheree. He and Morris compete at left tackle, while we live with the Chiefs' inability to go up and get Anton Harrison this past year.
The Chiefs also have some DL needs along the interior, which I solved through free agency. They also need more legs in the stable, with CEH and McKinnon no longer around.
I think this is an offense that is still lethal, with a young, mean RB stable, and a DL that can get after the pass without being run on effectively.
The biggest question mark is going to be the LT position. If Taylor can't man the position, I don't know what the Chiefs can do.
