Craig Stout: Chris Jones has been lining up at DE a TON at OTAs.

With the OL being the priority, it kind of had to take a back burner.

I also think it's overblown to worry much about this at this point. They're not dumb. They'll figure something out.

It certainly presented itself in the 2nd round of the draft. They took Bolton with Basham sitting right there. Ossai was still available as well.

It also could have presented itself in signing or trading for someone but instead they signed another OT in Wyatt Miller and traded for Mike Hughes to bolster two units that already had a ton of depth.

A reasonable opportunity that is. Or one that they liked.

I'd still think Ingram or Houston or something may be on the table, but theres no rush.

I can't imagine that Houston's pride would allow him to sign with the Chiefs and I'm not even sure if he'd be all that welcome in the lockerroom.

It sure appears to me that outside of injury, the Chiefs are going with the guys they currently have on the roster and if Jones is going to spend 35% of his snaps or more at DE, I'm not even sure another signing, especially an older vet, even makes any sense.
