The Chiefs’ rookie offensive tackle Dalton Cooper shows signs of promise

The undrafted Oklahoma State tackle brings good size and a solid athletic profile to Kansas City.

Following the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs signed former Oklahoma State offensive tackle Dalton Cooper as an undrafted free agent.

Will he have what it takes to compete in the NFL? Let’s take a look.

Background

A three-star recruit out of Prague, Oklahoma, Cooper began his college career at Texas State University. Quickly becoming the starting left tackle, he received multiple all-Sun Belt Conference nods.

After his junior season, Cooper transferred to Oklahoma State, where he was given All-Big 12 honors...

Tailgate Thursday: What do you think of the Savannah Bananas?

Let’s talk about everyone’s weekend plans!

Last weekend, the Savannah Bananas — a baseball team that puts on a show similar to the Harlem Globetrotters — had two sold-out performances at Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium. Terri and I were among 37,000 who were there on Friday night — and after seeing our first Bananas game, we highly recommend the experience. Were you among those lucky enough to get tickets? What did you think? Have you seen them in other cities?

Let’s talk about our journeys to Bananaland!

3 other teams picked as ‘more complete’ than the Chiefs in 2025

According to an NFL writer, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Detroit will have more talent in the coming season.

On Wednesday, NFL.com draft analyst Eric Edholm published a ranking of the league’s “most complete teams” for 2025. He listed the Kansas City Chiefs fourth, following the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions.

They continue to tinker with their wide receivers and offensive line. There will be new faces on defense, too. But the core of the 2025 Chiefs resembles the team that has forged its way into playing in five of the past six...

ESPN’s latest ‘football power index’ favors Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl rematch

ESPN’s latest ‘football power index’ favors Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl rematch

Could Kansas City play Philadelphia in the Super Bowl again next year?

On Wednesday, ESPN rolled out its latest “football power index” rankings — which sees the Kansas City Chiefs ranked second (+5.4), behind only the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (+5.5). The “football power index” is a ratings and projection model.

A Super Bowl rematch?

The football power index projects a 4.2% chance of a Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl rematch.

“Two of the past three Super Bowls have been between Kansas City and Philadelphia,” wrote ESPN’s Seth Walder. “Will it be three of four? The 4.2% chance...

A year later: Looking back at the Chiefs’ 2024 Draft

A year later: Looking back at the Chiefs’ 2024 Draft

A year since they joined the team, let’s see how the Chiefs 2024 draft picks have panned out thus far.

Part of the reason the Kansas City Chiefs have been so successful in recent years is their ability to hit on a solid number of draft picks, relying on free agency only to selectively supplement a roster built mainly through the draft.

But even a team like the Chiefs has its misses from time to time. So, we could take a moment to look back at last season’s draft class and see how these players are faring one year into...

What Elijah Young will bring to the Chiefs’ running backs

What Elijah Young will bring to the Chiefs’ running backs

The former Western Kentucky running back always plays in his fifth gear.

As the Kansas City Chiefs enter their offseason program, there is plenty of competition at running back. Six players are vying for a spot on the team — and any of them could carve out a role for themselves on this fall’s active roster or practice squad.

Let’s take a look at one of them: undrafted free agent Elijah Young of Western Kentucky.

Background

Coming out of South-Doyle High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, Young was a four-star recruit with offers from SEC schools like [Tennessee, South Carolina,...

‘Which’ Wednesday: The Chiefs’ best young defensive tackle

Vote in our Wednesday poll — and tell us what you think, too!

During the offseason, it’s often been said that the Kansas City Chiefs were shorthanded on the defensive interior. That hasn’t been exactly true. It would have been more accurate to say that we haven’t seen a lot from some of the team’s defensive tackles — and now, Kansas City has added an undrafted free agent into the mix. That leads us to today’s poll.

Kansas City Chiefs: OT Esa Pole

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Jaylon Moore in free agency to possibly solve their problem at left tackle. They didn’t stop there, though, and drafted Ohio State’s Josh Simmons in this year’s first round to double-down on the premium spot.

One more talented body can’t hurt, and they also signed Washington State’s Esa Pole as an undrafted free agent.

How the Chiefs can help Chris Jones in 2025

How the Chiefs can help Chris Jones in 2025

As the All-Pro defensive tackle turns 31, here is how Kansas City can help him.

Over the past few years, one thing I’ve given attention to is the snap percentage the Kansas City Chiefs have given All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones. Of everything Jones brings to the table, the most underrated strength he possesses is phenomenal conditioning.

When Jones entered the league, he showed flashes of the dominant player he would become, but the consistency wasn’t there. Some of this was that Jones needed more time to develop, but that conditioning also hurt his consistency.

As Jones developed into a...

Tuesday Takes: What do other fans misunderstand about the Chiefs?

What is that people don’t understand about Kansas City? Let’s hear what you think!

At this time of year, people are looking for reasons the Kansas City Chiefs will take a step backward during the coming season. Someday — perhaps even in 2025 — Kansas City will take that step. But in recent seasons, these predictions haven’t come to pass. The team continues to win the AFC West, makes it to the AFC Championship and (usually) reaches the Super Bowl. What causes this to happen? What is it that nobody understands about the Chiefs?

Let’s talk about it!
