WR Derrick Alexander averaged 15.4 yards per catch last year, but Chiefs need a No. 2 guy. They hoped it would be first-round pick Sylvester Morris. But he held out most of training camp and won't help for a while. TE Tony Gonzalez is one of game's best.
Offensive line is one of league's best.
The death of Derrick Thomas was a major blow to this unit. Chiefs think Lew Bush can replace him fairly well on rushing downs, but rushing the passer is another matter. Defensive line isn't as good as it was a year ago, evidenced by the fact that ex-Eagles DT Steve Martin probably is going to start. The rest of the defense is in pretty good shape. Donnie Edwards is one of the league's best outside linebackers.
