3. RT Lucas Niang
It's now been nearly four years since the Chiefs drafted Lucas Niang 96th overall in 2020 and the ex-TCU blocker has failed to meet expectations along the way.
Injuries have limited Niang to 33 games over the last three seasons. Even when he's healthy, he rarely sees a prominent role, only starting in nine of those games and a total of zero since the start of the 2022 campaign. He's also seen just 67 offensive snaps over the last two years after playing 525 as a rookie.
By the time the 2023 season ended, Niang was left without any real positive results to look back on. He surrendered four pressures (3 hurries, 1 QB hit) while taking one penalty on 36 passing downs and tallied a putrid 48.4 run-block grade for his efforts.
The Chiefs are now looking for tackles to help them win a third consecutive Super Bowl and the jury's still out regarding if Niang can be a part of a solution rather than the problem. Considering how Kansas City can save $1.1 million by cutting/trading him at any point this offseason, Niang is likely on borrowed time barring a massive turnaround.
