Analyzing the NFL, and the Chiefs

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

This #Chiefs draft has been so disappointing. Just a terrible draft.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

And we all saw how that worked out for them. Every single one of them were busts.

[Pete Sweeney @pgsween]

The last time Kansas City began its draft with four defensive draft picks was 2018 (Breeland Speaks, Derrick Nnadi, Dorian O'Daniel and Armani Watts)

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

Dude! What is Brett Veach doing? Did we not just sign Kenneth Walker in free agency? Why do we need to trade up to take a RUNNING BACK! I don’t understand this draft strategy. This is such a terrible draft.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

@KCSportsNetwork This has been an absolutely embarrassing draft. Just terrible. Veach and the Chiefs should be embarrassed with the picks they have made.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

One of the worst drafts the Chiefs have had in years.

The offense was horrible last season, and they’ve done NOTHING to fix it. They desperately needed a WR and passed on them every single time.

Just embarrassing.

[Kansas City Chiefs @Chiefs]

Solidifying the secondary 💯

With the 109th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, we have selected DB @JadonC28__!

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

I have absolutely no idea what the #Chiefs are doing. I hate Brett Veach.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

At this point, I’m hoping they find a way to get Elijah Sarratt.

If I’m Kansas City, I’m doing everything I can to move up to 100 to keep the Raiders from pairing him with Mendoza at 101.

But, right now it feels like they’re fixing the wrong side of the ball.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

The #Chiefs haven’t drafted a single offensive player yet…

There wasn’t one game last season where I thought, “Yeah, this defense is the problem.”

I liked the Mansoor Delane pick.
Love the R. Mason Thomas pick.

That’s a lot of defensive help for a team that didn’t need it.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

I have a love–hate relationship with NFL free agency.

I love it because the right signing can completely change a franchise.

I hate it because every wannabe “breaking news” fan account suddenly claims their team is leading the race for player X.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

At least the Chiefs got a first round pick for McDuffie. Hate to see him go, but I don’t think he was worth what he was going to ask for.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Full trade, per source:

Rams receive:
🏈CB Trent McDuffie

Chiefs receive:
🏈1st-round pick, No. 29
🏈5th
🏈6th
🏈2027- 3rd

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

The #Chiefs don’t need a splash move.

They need structural repair.

Offensive identity. Edge protection. Cohesion around Mahomes.

The next phase of the dynasty won’t be decided by star power — it’ll be decided by alignment.

Kansas City should avoid this man like the plague.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Sources: Miami’s eight-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill is being released. Hill turns 32 on March 1, is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL, and now will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career.

His release will save the Dolphins $22.8 million against the salary cap.

Retool ≠ Rebuild is now The Carnahan Report. Same deep-dive NFL analysis, just under a new name and look. Depth over noise remains the mission.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

What’s staying the same: weekly articles, insights, and my focus on what really matters in the NFL. What’s new: a cleaner look, easier navigation, and a brand that fits the long-term vision.

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

Seattle just won this #SuperBowl

[Shayne Carnahan @ShayneCarnahan]

Eric Bieniemy is back in Kansas City.

On paper, it makes sense.
As a fan… I’m still uneasy.

I dug into the numbers, the context, and the roster reality — and why this move feels both logical and complicated.

The #Chiefs don’t just need to add talent — they need to retain the right talent.

I broke down which internal free agents Kansas City should bring back, and which external additions could reshape the offense heading into 2026.

At the start of the season, no one thought Indiana even had a shot at the playoff.

Now they’re national champions.

Football is awesome.
