Beyond quarterback planning, the Chiefs must decide on a starting right tackle and bolster the wide receiver group with a veteran presence. The right tackle competition features three contenders—Jaylon Moore, Esa Pole, and undrafted Khalil Benson—each offering different advantages. At wide receiver, Kansas City is evaluating young depth and potential breakout players, including Cyrus Allen, Jalen Royals, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton, while remaining open to adding a veteran, with Tyreek Hill frequently mentioned as a possible reunion option.
Key takeaways:
– Mahomes’ health creates a strategic need to plan for Fields starting or stepping in if needed.
– Right tackle competition is open, with Moore, Pole, and Benson all in contention.
– Wide receiver depth is under evaluation, prioritizing youth with potential veteran additions to stabilize the unit.
