Arrowheadlines: The Chiefs still need to find an edge rusher

Kansas City spent its priority draft picks on the offensive line. The Chiefs traded for Ravens offensive tackle Orlando Brown with their first-round pick, then snagged Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey with a second-round pick. Pass-rusher was not addressed until the fourth round with the Chiefs’ selection of Florida State’s Joshua Kaindoh. Kaindoh can add quality depth, but it’s highly unlikely that he’ll become the No. 2 opposite Frank Clark that this defense needs.

The Chiefs’ second and third pass-rushers right now are Taco Charlton and Mike Danna. Though Charlton did post 10 pressures on just 51 pass-rush snaps last season, he was never close to that production in any of his first three seasons with larger samples.
