Comparing this draft to 2020 roster

QB - Same
RB - Same
WR - A lot worse
TE - Same
Oline - probably worse in 2021?
Dline - A little worse
LB - Better
CB - Same/worse
S - Same

I think it's probable we're going to see a drop-off at WR. We just can't keep the players in house in Watkins and DRob. Maybe they bring back DRob but I think that's still a bit of a stretch.

I don't really see making changes on the interior OLine as a huge issue. While Reiter and Wylie aren't the worst I've ever seen, they certainly aren't that great. Perhaps they bring one of the two back though, depending on the cap.

DLine, I'm sure Veach works some voodoo shit and brings in a vet or two cheap but I just can't put my finger on the who right now. I think that former Notre Dame kid that plays for the Lions could be a guy but his name slips me. Kind of underachieving so far in his career, much like Taco.

I don't think we'll really get worse at CB with another year in for Ward and Fenton plus Sneed playing the way he has as a rookie. Develop another mid-rounder and Keyes and call it a day there.

All told, we may see some short-term regression for long-term gains in a few spots but that's probably not avoidable for the Chiefs or many teams in the league if the cap doesn't go up.
