2025 NFL Draft: 8 Teams that Should be Most Aggressively Trying to Trade Up | Bleacher Report
Kansas City Chiefs7 of 8
The Kansas City Chiefs got mollywhopped by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, but there’s no time for self-pity. The Chiefs need to address the issues that cost them so dearly against the Philadelphia Eagles.
None are bigger than an offensive line that was dominated from start to finish. As Zoltan Buday wrote for Pro Football Focus, left tackle was an issue for the Chiefs all season long.
“Players lining up at left tackle for the Chiefs in 2024 combined to earn a 50.0 PFF pass-blocking grade and allowed pressure on 11.3% of pass plays,” he said. “Both were the worst marks in the NFL. That level of production at one of the most important positions is a recipe for disaster, and Kansas City will almost certainly need to address the position. Whether they reshuffle the line and move right tackle Jawaan Taylor to the left side, sign or draft a new player or trust one of their younger players to fill the hole is yet to be seen.”

Kansas City has to fix one early in the 2025 draft.

There are still great plays and sequencing, but there’s not always enough to make up for some of the deficiencies the offense has had with receiver and offensive line injuries. Still, this team was 10th in EPA per play during the regular season as they were working things out.
Jason Kelce thinks Travis Kelce already knows if he wants to keep playing or retire | NBC Sports
Jason Kelce said on The Steam Room that his younger brother most likely knows deep down whether he’s going to play or retire.
“I think Travis — I think he probably, in his heart, already knows what he wants to do,” Jason said.
Jason said that when he retired last year, he talked it over with Travis repeatedly, but that Travis will probably have a simple process where he just asks himself, Do I want to play or do I want to retire?
“I’m sure we will talk about it. We’ve already...
