The Chiefs’ pass rush has to improve and it starts on the edge. In this Super Bowl week edition of The Intangibles, we break down the current state of Kansas City’s EDGE room, what free agency can (and can’t) realistically offer, and our Top 5 EDGE prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class.
We discuss roster realities (George Karlaftis, Ashton Gillotte, Felix Anudike-Uzomah), why the production didn’t match the investment, and what it could mean for the Chiefs at Pick 9 and beyond. Then we get into the draft board: David Bailey, Rueben Bain, TJ Parker, Kendrick Faulk, Zion Young, and more.
Plus: Super Bowl matchup talk and what Vegas wants you to think.
