The Kansas City Chiefs have been doing their best to move past the Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, which shone a glaring light on the roster's major issue.
The offensive line gave up 36 sacks in the regular season (the most ever in a Patrick Mahomes season) and another 11 in the playoffs.
Jaylon Moore was signed to fill the left tackle role, while the re-signings of Kareem Hunt, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Marquise Brown give Mahomes solid weapons, while Kristian Fulton was signed for Steve Spagnuolo's defense.
But for NFL.com's Dan Parr, he has listed the remaining needs for Andy Reid's team.
"Kansas City was no match for Philadelphia in the trenches when the title was on the line last season, so it should not be a surprise to see the offensive and defensive lines leading the priority list," Parr writes. "The Chiefs are going to need more explosiveness and production off the edge, too. Replacing starters at receiver (DeAndre Hopkins) and safety (Justin Reid) rounds out the to-do list."

Despite the signing of Moore, the Chiefs are thought to still be in the market for another left tackle, and several mock drafts have the AFC champs taking one in the first round of the draft.
As for receiver, with Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Brown, and Smith-Schuster to go with Travis Kelce, the Chiefs look to be in good order in the passing game.
But the draft looms as a good time for the Chiefs to address their other needs while also possibly cherry-picking some free agents after the draft.
Either way, Reid's team still needs improvement, and he's just got his shopping list laid out rather neatly.
