The Kansas City Chiefs were coming off a brutal Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, which shined a light on the franchise’s deficiencies. Free agency came, and the Chiefs made moves to help improve the roster with Kristian Fulton, Elijah Moore, and Jaylon Moore seen as the “big” additions.

However the Chiefs also lost star guard Joe Thuney as a cap casualty, along with Justin Reid and Tershawn Wharton, so it can be hard to gauge how the Chiefs’ roster sits right now. One big question that always gets asked at this time of year as free agency dies down and the draft picks up steam – did any teams get better? For Pro Football Focus’ Thomas Valentine, when assessing the Chiefs, Reid’s team stayed the same.

“No matter how you slice it, losing Joe Thuney is just too big of a blow for the Chiefs – even if they were able to franchise tag Trey Smith,” Valentine writes. ” Adding Jaylon Moore on a two-year deal to be the starting left tackle is a risky move too. Losing Tershawn Wharton and Justin Reid are big losses to the defense too, but adding Kristian Fulton on a two-year deal improves the cornerback room, and the 2025 draft class is deep for defensive tackles. Improvements could come from there.” It can be hard to gauge where the Chiefs sit, and for most, a lot of the angst comes from the offensive line and the uncertainty surrounding it.

The Chiefs added Moore, but Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris both failed at securing the starting spot last season. Plus, guard Mike Caliendo didn’t set the world on fire either, leading to many tipping the Chiefs to select another left tackle in their mock drafts.

The defense under Steve Spagnuolo will again be up there with the best, but offensively, even with Patrick Mahomes, some might be jumping off the bandwagon. Kansas City, for Valentine, stayed the same. At least the Chiefs didn’t get “worse” this offseason, right?
