Will the Chiefs go into 2017 with Alex Smith and the great unknown?

Don’t be fooled. The Kansas City Chiefs were in this place last year, too.

In 2016, Alex Smith was entrenched as the starter. Once the dust on free agency had settled and the NFL Draft classes were wrapped up and instantly graded, the depth chart after him was a complete unknown. It seemed like we might actually find out what sort of talent the Chiefs had on the depth chart after Smith, what the future at quarterback might resemble.

Tyler Bray was the mainstay, a veteran who had somehow never thrown an NFL pass signed as an undrafted free agent.
