Chiefs lack top players at key positions in ESPN survey rankings

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the Kansas City Chiefs are highlighted in ESPN's positional rankings following a survey of executives, coaches, and scouts. Notable Chiefs players mentioned include Chris Jones, ranking fourth at defensive tackle, and Creed Humphrey, placing third among interior offensive linemen. However, Kansas City missed acknowledgment at critical positions, particularly cornerback and edge rusher, where they did not place anyone in the rankings. With rookies like Mansoor Delane and Josh Simmons aiming to establish their roles, the Chiefs seek improvement in these areas before the season begins.
