Analyst ranks Chiefs in very last tier for what they have done in the 2023 offseason
The Kansas City Chiefs have been ranked unfairly, and quite honestly poorly for what they have done so far in the 2023 offseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been ranked unfairly, and quite honestly poorly for what they have done so far in the 2023 offseason.
The Chiefs are coming off of a Super Bowl-winning season, and as we all witnessed in 2020, repeating is easier said than done. That is why no team has repeated as Super Bowl winners since the New England Patriots did in 2005. When the Chiefs tried to do it, their plans were ruined by the very guy who repeated last time – Tom Brady.
But, now it's safe to say this team has grown up and learned a lot more since then. They don't have as lethal of weapons as they did then but have a better defense and a more sustainable offense with a rushing attack. And, Mahomes has gotten even better.
Let's also not forget that this team has made some good moves this offseason to help them reach that goal next year. Well, we thought they made some good moves. There are some analysts out there who actually have them ranked in the lowest tier possible when it comes to their total offseason moves, free agency, and the draft.
29th: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: THEY ADDED TWO GOOD CONTRIBUTORS IN RICE AND ANUDIKE-UZOMAH As the reigning champs, the Chiefs are, as expected, poised to embark on another title run. Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Rashee Rice were good depth additions to fortify their positions in two very important categories: pass rusher and pass catcher. I believe both players will play pivotal roles in Year 1. -Cody Benjamin, CBS Sports
The Chiefs have not made the third worst offseason moves in the league. I don't care how you put it, which way you spin it, for what they have had to work with, the Chiefs should be ranked somewhere in the middle.
Have they been perfect? No. They waited way too long on Odell Beckham Jr. and DeAndre Hopkins just to come up empty-handed. Now they had to end up getting a receiver in the draft, which is fine but had to do it in the second round because they couldn't trade up. All that is fine, but sure, they could have approached it differently.
But, they were still able to upgrade at the defensive tackle position, offload a lot of money in Frank Clark who just wasn't producing and draft his replacement who could be better. They have made some really good moves, including their draft class. Are they in the top tier? No. But they dang sure aren't last.
