## Resource

The Chiefs got some solid nods in ESPN’s offseason rankings—Kenneth Walker, Chris Jones, and Travis Kelce all made the list—but the real story is what’s missing: no top-tier cornerbacks, edge rushers, or offensive tackles from Kansas City. While Jones dominates his position, the lack of elite talent at critical defensive spots like cornerback (where Trent McDuffie’s now ranked fifth with the Rams) and edge rusher (where George Karlaftis’ absence signals a reliance on depth) could be a major hurdle as the Chiefs head into 2026. It’s a bold gamble—one that could either pay off or expose a glaring weakness. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
