Would you hope Tillery would be your starter for week 1? If not, who would be? I thought Hamilton was more of a NT than an end.
Also, you put Speaks in the DE category, do you think the Chiefs might put him at DE next season or is that just what you would do with him?

Front 7 situation looks bleak heading into next season. They pretty well have to address the DE spot. They have a history of not retaining aging ends so I don't think Bailey is getting re-signed. Tillery is a guy I'd draft to start, yes. I don't know if the Chiefs can have an honest assessment of Speaks and not move him back to being a down lineman. He certainly hasn't shown me enough to warrant a starting job anywhere. I think you put his hand back in the dirt and you make him your rotational player at the end spots. The Chiefs may very well have to draft or sign another player at DE because I do agree about Hamilton not fitting overly well outside. Neither do Williams and Nnadi though, so he could be an odd man out at some point.
I'm not super high on most of the linebackers in this class, but I do like a few. If Joe Bachie declares from Michigan State, I'd be tempted to take him in round 1 and if he were there in round 2 I'd sprint to the podium. The Chiefs need to take some shots on ILBs all throughout the process in all likelihood. Hitchens and Ragland are terrible out there in coverage. I'm hoping Niemann sees the field soon so we can get a clear picture of what he is.
