Kansas City Chiefs<\/font><\/p>\n 2005 Results: <\/b> 10-6 (2nd in AFC West) 2005 Season Recap: <\/b> It wasn\u2019t a terrible year record wise. It was, however, another year without a playoff birth. The much-criticized defense started strong but faded toward the later half of the season. The always-prolific offense on the other hand started slow, yet finished among the league leaders as usual.<\/p>\n Team Needs: <\/b> 2006 Draft Picks: <\/b> \t1st Round #20 \/ 2nd Round #54 \/ 3rd Round #85 \/ 5th Round #154 \/ 6th Round #186 \/ 6th Round #190 \/ 7th Round #228<\/p>\n Free Agency Status: <\/b> Edit: This blog was archived in May of 2016 from our original articles database.It was originally posted by Frank Hastings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\n2006 Projected Cap Status: <\/b> $7.3 million under (as of 03\/10\/06)<\/p>\n
\n1)\tWR \u2013 How good offensively, could this team have been over the past several years with Al Saunders, Trent Green, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson? Kennison is decent but getting old.
\n2)\tDL \u2013 Vermeil era high draft choices, DTs Ryan Sims and Junior Siavii have yet to prove they are worthy of their high selections.
\n3)\tCB \u2013 Until this week\u2019s 1-year signing of former Bronco Lenny Walls, the Chiefs had no proven starter to play opposite Patrick Surtain. It is expected that Walls will compete and hopefully win the starting job, but a nickel back and depth are needed.
\n4)\tQB \u2013 Trent Green is 36. It has been widely reported that the Chiefs, and in particular their GM Carl Peterson, are interested in Joey Harrington. Money will likely prohibit the deal from getting done.
\n5)\tOL \u2013 Willie Roaf and Will Shields are getting old and will retire soon.
\n6)\tOLB \u2013 Kendrell Bell didn\u2019t have the impact everyone expected him to have. Look for the Chiefs to draft a LB in the 2nd-3rd round to get some playing time opposite Derrick Johnson, who proved last season he\u2019s a keeper.<\/p>\n
