KC Chiefs: Five AFC West rookies to worry about in 2020

The KC Chiefs might be the Super Bowl champs, but if we learned one thing in the 2020 NFL Draft, it’s that the AFC West made it a point to get stronger on offense this season. Which AFC West rookies should the Chiefs worry about?

One thing was for certain once Mr. Irrelevant had been crowned and the 2020 NFL Draft was officially over with, and that’s how the rest of the AFC West is adding firepower on offense in an attempt to keep up with the Kansas City Chiefs.

All three divisional foes grabbed an offensive player in the first round and made that a key focus for this year’s draft. It makes sense, as the Chiefs steamrolled through their division this past season, sweeping their opponents while everyone else finished the year with losing records.

Even though the Chiefs have dominated the AFC West last year and have won it the past four, their divisional opponents aren’t going to just sit back and not do anything about it. Some of them added some scary playmakers and it’s time to look at the five we should be most worried about this year.

NUMBER 5 – AMIK ROBERTSON (RAIDERS CORNERBACK)

Amik Robertson doesn’t exactly scare fans right now, but where this could come back to bite the Chiefs is that they had a shot at drafting the Louisiana Tech product with pick 138 and instead went with his teammate L’Jarius Sneed.

Sneed should hopefully turn into a nice versatile defensive back in Kansas City, but Robertson was definitely getting more buzz heading into the draft. With the Raiders taking him one pick later and him likely going up against the Chiefs second or third receiver in the future, if he holds his own or has a big pick against Kansas City in a big game, this could become a “What if” kind of pick.

Amik Robertson has a tough task of having to slow down receivers in the AFC West, which has basically become a track meet, but if he pans out, not only would he become a fearful corner to face, but knowing KC could have had him would add salt to the wound.
