Unit Grades

SI.com's NFL personnel expert Michael Lombardi evaluates the Chiefs' units.

QB D
Arm strength, durability among Croyle's questions.

RB B+
Johnson can still be effective, but needs help from the OL.

WR C-
Bowe's a fine player, but little experience around him.

TE B+
Gonzalez remains very good; rookie Brad Cottam has talent.

OL D
Massive rebuilding begins with first-round pick Albert.

DL B
Rookie Dorsey can be a star, fill the hole left by Jared Allen.

LB C
Edwards makes plays; Johnson had his best year. Who's the MLB?

DB D
Lack coverage corners, so expect to see lots of zone.

ST C
Grade hurt by unsettled situation at placekicker.
