Arrowheadlines: Analyst puts Patrick Mahomes in the second tier of quarterbacks

Kansas City Chiefs

Biggest Needs: DL, IOL, Edge

Biggest Strength: Defense

Patrick Mahomes still drives the Chiefs’ Super Bowl aspirations, but they were a defensive team last season. They were fourth in scoring defense and the offense usually did just enough for them to win every week.

It’s hard to pin down exactly what makes the Kansas City defense elite. The pass rush ranked fifth in pressure rate, but it didn’t really have an elite pass-rusher outside of Chris Jones. The interior star only had five sacks, but he led the league in pass rush win rate.
