The Chiefs’ first two selections this year likely won’t be starters, at least not heading into the season. Chris Jones will have his opportunity down the road and it wouldn’t be too out of the question for KeiVarae Russell to get a look at starting corner.
Parker Ehinger will likely win the starting left guard job, and I think that’s perfect. Zach Fulton is a better swing along the offensive line anyway. Plus, who else can play center if needed?
Eric Murray will be a project at the safety position, and who knows what the team will do with Kevin Hogan and the other 60 quarterbacks on this roster.
The only other possible starter is Dadi Nicolas, who showed some swag last weekend. If he keeps that type of play up, he could eventually dethrone Dee Ford as the starter.
