In our āLetās Argueā series, Mark Gunnels considers the hot takes, wacky predictions and unpopular opinions of Kansas City Chiefs fans from all over the world.
Iām not seeing it.
The Chiefs upgraded arguably the biggest weakness on the roster by adding running back Kenneth Walker ā easily the best backfield mate quarterback Patrick Mahomes has had since the first stretch of Kareem Huntās career in 2017 and 2018.
The defense was also retooled through the draft and free agency.
The AFC West isnāt some untouchable gauntlet. Denver had a great year, and we will see them in Week 1 on āMonday Night Football,ā but quarterback Bo Nix is coming off a serious injury. As long as Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid are together, expecting last season to be a repeat rather than the exception feels like the hot take.
Cyrus Allen is recognized for his impressive catching ability and potential to excel in the upcoming season.
Cyrus Allen played for the Cincinnati Bearcats during the 2025 season, notably making a catch against the BYU Cougars on November 22.

For a fifth-round pick, this feels like tremendous value for Kansas City. As talented as wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are, neither has consistently proven they can beat physical press-man coverage yet. Cyrus Allen brings real separation ability both outside and in the slot.
The only question is opportunity. Reid has a history of easing rookie receivers along, including barely any snaps for a fourth-round pick in Jalen Royals last year, but from a pure talent standpoint, Allen has the tools to carve out a role sooner than people think.
At the time, I was convinced the Chiefs were taking Zion Young. His frame fits exactly what defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo typically looks for off the edge, and the local ties to the University of Missouri made it feel even more likely.
That said, I actually respect Kansas City going a different direction with R Mason Thomas at pick 40 in the second round. For years, fans have begged for more speed and explosiveness off the edge ā and thatās exactly what Thomas brings. If he hits, the production and pass-rush juice he provides could turn this draft from good to great.
Iām assuming you mean three players from the Chiefsā 2026 draft class will eventually make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If so, thatās an incredibly bold prediction.
The gold jacket is arguably the hardest honor to obtain compared to those in other major professional sportsā halls of fame. If Kansas City gets even one future Hall of Famer out of this class, that alone would make the draft a massive success.
