With draft still ahead, Chiefs' roster already in good shape

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs could, if this was necessary, line up and play a game tomorrow and be competitive with many if not all teams they might face.

Tomorrow is almost six months away from when the Chiefs will have to play their next regular season game. But their roster, with whatever remains of free agency plus the draft still to come, already is in good shape.

The Chiefs have some thin spots, particularly at inside linebacker and running back. At inside linebacker, their best player, Derrick Johnson, will turn 35 in November and is coming off a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.
