With a new season upon us, there's no better time to take your questions about the state of the Kansas City Chiefs.Starting today, Jordan Foote and I (Joshua Brisco) will be bringing you a weekly Chiefs On SI mailbag, fielding your questions from the KC Sports Network Twitter/X accounts or @jbbrisco.com on BlueSky.Today, after two padded practices at training camp, we begin with the Chiefs' much-discussed rookie draft class before setting expectations for a pair of defensive backs and discussing camp's most surprising standout."Are the expectations for this rookie class too high? Is that due to the pressure of coming off an underwhelming season? Then immediately ignoring all that, do we think they have a higher ceiling/floor than the 2022 draft class?" -@razormind.bsky.socialI don't think the overall expectations for this rookie class are unfair, but they are steep, and it won't take long for fans to start questioning "underachieving" rookies earlier than they might have in previous years because of last season's shortcomings.On one hand, that 2022 class has fundamentally changed what a "great" draft class looks like in Kansas City. They landed Trent McDuffie, George Karlaftis, Bryan Cook, Leo Chenal, Jaylen Watson, Isiah Pacheco and others—with the highest picks coming at No. 21 and 30 overall. (To answer the final part of the question: the ceiling of this '26 class is outrageous; if the top three picks reach every bit of their potential, the Chiefs will be in a tremendous spot for the next few years. Replicating the remarkable depth of '22, with 10 picks, feels unlikely.)On the other hand, cornerback Mansoor Delane is the highest-drafted Chief since Eric Fisher in 2013. Defensive tackle Peter Woods was a blue-chip-caliber prospect after his sophomore year at Clemson, and he still looks the part to me. Defensive end R Mason Thomas has a clear path to significant playing time. Expectations for those top-40 picks are all high, but understandably so.Everything feels properly calibrated for cornerback Jadon Canady, running back Emmett Johnson and quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Canady has veteran depth ahead of him, while Johnson and Nussmeier are both third on the depth chart for now, with long-term reasons for optimism. (Johnson could certainly see his role grow in his rookie year, but the Chiefs aren't relying on him to save the group.) Those three don't need to play if they're not ready.If you're especially perceptive, you'll notice that I haven't mentioned one 2026 Chiefs draftee.I do worry that there's too much riding on fifth-round wide receiver Cyrus Allen's rookie season. I'm buying much of the Allen hype, but the Chiefs' wide receiver situation already feels so fragile.Rashee Rice is still working back from his offseason knee surgery, while Allen and Xavier Worthy were sidelined by (hopefully) short-term injuries before pads came on. Tyquan Thornton is being asked to have a career year, and Jalen Royals seems more than a few steps away from consistent snaps. —BriscoWhat are you expecting the addition of Sneed will mean to the secondary? -@kodyreeder.bsky.social
