Reassessing Chiefs' Offseason Plan and Breaking Down What's Left to Address

The Kansas City Chiefs entered the 2015 offseason with glaring holes at wide receiver and offensive line. Sure enough, as good general managers do, GM John Dorsey addressed those spots.

He made some moves in March that should help the Chiefs this season. First, he acquired wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who is familiar with head coach Andy Reid, as he played for him in Philadelphia. Shortly after the addition of Maclin, Dorsey acquired Ben Grubbs in a trade with the New Orleans Saints and picked up Paul Fanaika from the Arizona Cardinals, both guards. 

The additions of Maclin, Grubbs and Fanaika are the more notable moves due to the lack of talent the Chiefs had at those spots in 2014. 

The Chiefs still have areas to improve in, but they have some time to figure it out. Free agency isn't over, plus Kansas City has 10 draft picks.

No. 2 wide receiver

Dorial Green-Beckham has a ton of talent and would make a great receiver on any team, but how would he do under Reid's system opposite of Maclin? 

Terrell Owens, Kevin Curtis and DeSean Jackson are the only wide receivers to catch for 1,000 yards in a single season under Reid. 

Maybe the No. 2 wideout is already on the team, whether it is Jason Avant, who also has a lot of familiarity with Reid's offense, or Albert Wilson, who showed flashes toward the end of last year. Avant and Wilson need to show consistency and might be given the chance to do so this year.

For now, the No. 2 receiver spot is still a position that can be improved.

Center  

The Chiefs lost Rodney Hudson to the Oakland Raiders and need to replace him in order to have a strong interior offensive line.

The Chiefs have expressed interest in former Raiders center Stefen Wisniewski, per Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune. But Wisniewski remains unsigned due to offseason shoulder injury, and it appears the Chiefs, as well as other teams, have decided to go another path at trying to address the center position.

No. 2 tight end

Alex Smith had great success with tight end Vernon Davis in San Francisco and began a strong chemistry on the field with Travis Kelce. Smith also did well with Anthony Fasano, who caught seven touchdown passes in the last two years despite getting few catches.

Now that Fasano is with the Tennessee Titans, the Chiefs will need to bring in another versatile tight end for Smith.

Kansas City has four draft picks in the first three rounds, including two in the third round. Don't be surprised if the Chiefs go after a tight end with one of the two third-round picks.

Depth at offensive line

The Chiefs suffered a big setback before the season even started when the injury bug ran across the offensive line, which eventually forced the Chiefs to start Mike McGlynn and Zach Fulton.

With a versatile Jeff Allen returning and the additions of Grubbs and Fanaika, the Chiefs should be in good hands with their starters, but they should look for one or two veteran linemen to play behind the starters in case there is a repeat of last year.

Inside linebacker next to Derrick Johnson

The Chiefs had a couple of solid inside linebackers recently in Akeem Jordan and Joe Mays. Mays' injury prevented him from reaching his potential, and the Chiefs did not bring him back for 2015.

As I've said in previous mock drafts, former Kansas Jayhawk and local prospect Ben Heeney would be a huge steal in the final day of the draft and could start right away. 

Either way, the Chiefs need help against the run after finishing 28th last year. With Derrick Johnson returning and the possibility of a new inside linebacker next to him, Kansas City should see vast improvement in stopping the rush.

Defensive backs

The Chiefs have some good and underrated defensive backs in Sean Smith and Phillip Gaines at cornerback, plus the addition of Tyvon Branch at safety next to Husain Abdullah. Eric Berry's football status is currently uncertain, but if he is cleared to play, Kansas City will have a strong secondary.

At the same time, the NFL has turned into a pass-heavy league, and defensive coordinators won't be against the idea of having too many defensive backs.

With Kansas City's strong front seven, primarily led by Tamba Hali and Justin Houston, the defense should be great. Dorsey should look to add some depth at cornerback and safety.
