KEY ADDITIONS: WR Steve Breaston (from Cardinals), WR Jonathan Baldwin (first Round, Pittsburgh), OLB Justin Houston (third round, Georgia), NT Kelly Gregg (from Ravens), FB Le'Ron McClain (from Ravens), LB Brandon Siler (from Chargers)
KEY DEPARTURES: OLB Mike Vrabel (retired), LG Brian Waters (released), DL Shaun Smith (to Titans), NT Ron Edwards (to Panthers), DB Maurice Leggett (to Lions), TE Brad Cottam (released)
Offense:
I love the addition of Steve Breaston and Jonathan Baldwin to help out Matt Cassel and Dwayne Bowe in the passing game. Matt Cassel had a pretty good year last year and led the Chiefs to a 10-6 record. Cassel also has a good run game in Jamaal Charles and if Dexter McCluster can stay on the field he can have a Reggie Bush like impact especially now that they have one of the best FB's in the league in Le'Ron McClain. This team could have a great offense going into next season.
Defense:
The Defense is the big question here, they lack a nose tackle as Ron Edwards and Shaun Smith both departed via free agency. Kelly Gregg will be added to try to improve their production, however, this is a work in progress and unless Romeo Crennel has an ace up his sleeve, the Chiefs will give up a lot of yards.
Overall:
I like the Chiefs and I will proclaim they will have a top 5 offense in the league. They will score a lot of points, but also give up a ton of points. They will take the AFC West, 11-5
