Morris, a third-round draft pick, could win the first backup tackle spot by playing well at camp. and Andrew Wylie as the starting tackles. Smith and Taylor replace the departed Orlando Brown Jr.

OFFENSIVE LINE (8): Donovan Smith, Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Jawaan Taylor, Wanya Morris, Lucas Niang, Nick AllegrettiĮight isn't a lot of offensive linemen, but the Chiefs' best depth is at other positions. It might be time for the Chiefs to back off a little bit in terms of his playing time, another reason for them to stay heavy at this position.

Kelce turns 34 in October and hasn't missed many snaps over the years. The Chiefs have frequently used multiple-tight end personnel groupings, so look for them to retain the same four tight ends who were on the roster last season. TIGHT END (4): Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Jody Fortson, Blake Bell Justin Watson, who caught 15 passes for the Chiefs last season, and John Ross, a former Cincinnati Bengals first-round draft pick, could easily stick after the final cuts with a good showing at training camp. The Chiefs have good depth, which could make the decisions for the final roster spots interesting. Toney, Valdes-Scantling, Moore and Rice are the likely top four receivers. WIDE RECEIVER (6): Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Richie James, Justyn Ross He could earn early-season playing time with a strong showing in camp. Keep an eye on Prince, an undrafted rookie who played well during offseason practice. He might not be ready to practice when training camp begins. The picture is clouded by Pacheco's offseason surgery. RUNNING BACK (4): Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Deneric Prince The Chiefs wanted a more experienced alternative as the backup besides Buechele, who has yet to play in an NFL game in two seasons. The only change is that Gabbert replaces Chad Henne as the veteran backup to Mahomes. QUARTERBACK (3): Patrick Mahomes, Blaine Gabbert, Shane Buechele Here is a projection for the 53-player roster: Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is back after his second MVP season along with two of the Chiefs' other headliners, tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones. Much of the roster change was concentrated in three areas: the offensive and defensive lines and wide receiver, where in two seasons the Chiefs have turned the position over completely after losing key players like Tyreek Hill, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman. The Chiefs return a bulk of the roster that won Super Bowl LVII in February over the Philadelphia Eagles.
