The Chiefs are going to need immediate contributions from their top draft picks this year, says jfmckessy. FrontOffice33 | ChiefsKingdom
It’s not often that top Super Bowl contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs need to rely too heavily on their rookies. More often, rookies on those teams are there to complement the players who are already there and fill in potential gaps from veteran free agent departures or the roster holes from subpar play.
The passing defense may have been even worse. The Chiefs gave up 4,273 total passing yards in 2021, sixth-most in the NFL. Sure, that number could be slightly bloated from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s 446-yard performance against the Chiefs in Week 17, but there’s a reason he was able to do that.
Enter edge rusher George Karlaftis, cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Joshua Williams, safety Bryan Cook and linebacker Leo Chenal. These five rookies will all have the chance to make immediate impacts for the Chiefs in year one. Kansas City is really hoping that at least a few of them are able to do so and, as a result, pull the team’s defensive play up significantly in 2022.
