\"Kansas<\/em><\/p>\n

On Monday, the football analytics site Pro Football Focus <\/em>published projected 2025 starting rosters for all 32 NFL teams \u2014 including the <\/em>Kansas City Chiefs. Written by Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick, the article lists 12 players for each unit on every team.<\/em><\/p>\n

Offense<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • QB Patrick Mahomes (83.9)<\/li>\n
  • RB Isiah Pacheco (79.9**)<\/li>\n
  • RB Kareem Hunt (74.4)<\/li>\n
  • WR Rashee Rice (84.9**)<\/li>\n
  • WR Xavier Worthy (71.8)<\/li>\n
  • WR Marquise Brown (65.5)<\/li>\n
  • TE Travis Kelce (71.7)<\/li>\n
  • LT Josh Simmons (74.4*)<\/li>\n
  • LG Kingsley Suamataia (37.9)<\/li>\n
  • C Creed Humphrey (92.4)<\/li>\n
  • RG Trey Smith (75.1)<\/li>\n
  • RT Jawaan Taylor (60.1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Defense<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • DI Chris Jones (90.2)<\/li>\n
    • DI Mike Pennel (59.4)<\/li>\n
    • Edge George Karlaftis (69.8)<\/li>\n
    • Edge Mike Danna (59.2)<\/li>\n
    • Edge Felix Anudike-Uzomah (61.2)<\/li>\n
    • LB Nick Bolton (63.7)<\/li>\n
    • LB Drue Tranquill (66.5)<\/li>\n
    • CB Trent McDuffie (82.0)<\/li>\n
    • CB Kristian Fulton (68.9)<\/li>\n
    • CB Jaylen Watson (69.6)<\/li>\n

      My take<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      On offense, it does appear that Suamataia is the player most likely to become the starting left guard. But at least for now, whether or not first-round rookie Simmons will start at left tackle is still an open question. In a vacuum, Hunt would indeed be the likely backup <\/em>behind Pacheco \u2014 but whether he\u2019d be the player getting change-of-pace snaps in Kansas City\u2019s running-back-by-committee approach is also open to debate. Much will depend on what we see of veteran Elijah Moore and rookie Brashard Smith in training camp.<\/p>\n

      On the defensive side, I\u2019d be surprised if Anudike-Uzomah gets snaps ahead of Charles Omenihu. On the other hand, I\u2019d be happy to see the former first-round pick taking a step forward. I also think that this season, we\u2019re more likely to see Jerry Tillery ahead of Mike Pennel on the inside \u2014 and Jaden Hicks ahead of Chamarri Conner as the second safety.<\/p>\n

      But otherwise, these look like solid picks for the Chiefs\u2019 2025 starters. What do you<\/em> think?<\/p>\n
