How Did the Chiefs Build The 2023 Roster

Diving in to how the team built their roster heading into week one

This is obviously subject to change as the team could make more moves over the coming days before they take on the Lions. But let’s take a look at how the team built the roster as it sits right now. I’ve tried to make it easier to track players who are on the active roster by bolding the names and using italics for the practice squad.

Drafted Players

The longest-tenured player in Kansas City that the Chiefs drafted is none other than superstar tight end Travis Kelce. While not counting against the roster currently the next most tenured player is superstar defensive tackle Chris Jones. Jones has one more year on the Chiefs roster than Patrick Mahomes does who wraps up the top three players with the most tenure that the Chiefs drafted.
