I think the team is showcasing Wylie at RT to show his versatility to other teams. I can't imagine they are doing it because they think they need to be 3 deep at RT (and possibly 4 deep if they keep Long). Remmers can do everything Wylie does but better and is just as position versatile. I think the Chiefs keep 9 lineman - Brown, Thuney, Smith, Humphrey, Niang, Remmers, Tega Wanagho, Long or LDT, and Blythe or Allegretti. If Brown goes down, I want no part of Remmers or Niang playing LT.
As for the DEs, I don't see Okafor making the roster. I think he was signed as JIC someone got hurt and then he showed he still can't stay healthy. I have no idea what is going on with Taco. But if it's me, I am keeping Ward because he looks to be vastly improved from last year and also has two years of team control after this one as a ERFA and a RFA. He also can be a 3 down DE while Taco seems to be a situation rusher.
I have gotten to a very similar point in my opinion of this roster. IF we can avoid injuries, it is going to be interesting to see what trades come out of this depth (especially considering your statement of the Chiefs "showcasing" players like Wylie). Loved the article, keep it up KCSN Team!

Great article Mr. Stout. Gives me some additional peeps to watch after first teamers leave the game on Friday.
