Biggest need: Cornerback
Charvarius Ward, the Chiefs’ best cornerback in 2021, signed with the 49ers as a free agent. Ward allowed just a 44.8% completion rate when targeted, the third-lowest figure in the NFL among defenders targeted 50-plus times. Opposing quarterbacks recorded just a 60.5 rating when targeting Ward, the ninth-lowest figure in the league. Mike Hughes, who started opposite Ward for much of the second half of the 2021 season, also left Kansas City as a free agent.
