Instead of being bitter about the Chiefs not making the playoffs in a decade, I decided we should celebrate the team that has given us more in the last 7 years than in the rest of the franchise’s history all together. So here is my all Dynasty team.

Offensive Line: LT Eric Fisher, LG Joe Thuney, C Creed Humphrey, RG Trey Smith, RT Mitchell Schwartz

This was fairly easy. Schwartz was the arguably the best right tackle in football until his injury in 2020. He was the best player on the line during the beginning of the dynasty for 2018-2020. Trey Smith was an incredible get in the 6th round and has been solid his whole time with the Chiefs minus injury issues this year. Thuney is one of the best guards in the league and moved out to tackle multiple times as needed. Creed is probably the best center in the game. Fisher is the only non great player on the line but he was pretty good and clearly better than any other left tackle during the dynasty…not that is saying a lot.

Tight End: Travis Kelce

Trav is that dude. He had 7 consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards and has accrued over 13k yards in his career. He is first in receptions in playoff history and only second to Jerry Rice in TDs and yards. He was the only reliable offensive weapon during the whole dynasty.

Wide Receiver: Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins and MVS

Tyreek was the easy one as he was so explosive and could change the game in seconds. He is one of the best at catching contested catches especially for his size. As the saying goes, “Tyreek down there somewhere.” The other two spots were tougher. Lots of pretty good but not great receivers. I gave the nod to Sammy because his main issue was injuries. When he was on the field he was awesome. And he helped Pat get settled in the first year. He had the game sealing td catch to send us to our first super bowl in 50 years and a huge catch down the sideline against Richard Sherman to help us win the Super Bowl. MVS might be an odd choice to some but since no one else is great, I went with the guy who came up big when it mattered. In our 2022 run when we finally beat the Bengals, we basically ran out of receivers but MVS came up with multiple big catches including a TD. In 2023, he had a rough year, but in the playoffs, caught a key pass down the sideline against the Bills, the game sealing catch against the Ravens and a td in the Super Bowl. Not too shabby.

Running Back: Damien Williams, Isaiah Pacheco

Woof. The running back room has been thin basically the whole dynasty. Once Kareem was let go, Damien Williams stepped in. He was solid in 2019 and came up with some big runs and catches. He had 100 yards rushing and 2 tds in the Super Bowl and arguably could have been the MVP. I know Pacheco sucks now, but he was solid in 2022 and we really leaned on him in 2023 helping us win back to back Super Bowls.

Quarter Back: Patrick Mahomes

I mean what can I say that I haven’t already said. Bottom line, he’s the difference maker. Reid was always a good coach and the Chiefs were a good team off and on throughout my life time. Pat made both great. 17-4 in the playoffs. Never lost an AFC playoff game in regulation. 2 MVPs, 3 Super Bowl MVPs and 7 straight AFC championship games and 5 Super Bowls in 6 years.

DE: Frank Clark, George Karliftas

Clark was just okay during the regular season but was huge come playoff team. He was a good leader to the D line as well trying to help the young guys including Karliftas. George isn’t awesome but he was solid and good against the run as well as rushing the passer. This year he sucked, but we don’t need to talk about that.

DT: Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi (by default)

Jones is the one constant and the leader of the defense. He was awesome throughout the 7 year run and had the biggest sack in the biggest moment when he took down Joe Burrow and saved us from losing to those idiots once again. Nnadi is the other DT, because well, you have to have 2 and he started pretty much every year of the dynasty.

LB: Nick Bolton, Dru Tranquill, Leo Chenal

Linebacker was a weakness of the team until these guys showed up. Bolton is just a machine against the run and always around the ball. Dru was a solid addition and instrumental at helping us win back to back Super Bowls. He is solid in coverage and a good blitzer. Leo is a jack of all trades and made huge play after huge play on defense and special teams.

Nickle Corner: Trent McDuffie

McDuffie is awesome in the slot. He’s great in coverage as long as he isn’t covering a 6’4 guy. And he is great at blitzing as well. He made several big plays blitzing as well as in coverage.

CB: L’ Jarius Sneed, Charvarius Ward

Sneed was also awesome at coverage and blitzing. He was a great tackler and could really do it all. The 2023 run may have been his biggest impact when he completely shut down Tyreek and had a td saving play forcing the fumble of Zay Flowers at the goal line against the Ravens. Ward was the best corner from the first half of the run. He was great in coverage and solid against the run. We got him for basically nothing, turned him into a star and then he got paid by the 49ers and we beat him in the Super Bowl.

Safety: Justin Reid, Tyrann Mathieu

You can’t have the dynasty team without the Honey Badger. He wasn’t great his final year but you saw how much he was missed in the 13 second game. He is just a great dude with a redemptive story and everyone in Chiefs kingdom loves him. Reid took his spot and was solid for 3 years leading the secondary and helping us reach 3 super bowls in 3 years. Reid is a little bit bigger and a little bit better tackler and at blitzing. But both were awesome and made big contributions to our success.

K: Harrison Butker

Butker had a couple rough stretches during the regular seasons but overall was great and got even better in the playoffs. He had multiple game tying and game winning kicks including the game winners against the hated Bengals and in the Super Bowl against the Eagles. He had a bunch during the regular seasons as well. Basically if you weren’t up by more than 3, we were going to win or tie the game.

P: Tommy Townsend

I’m not sure when Townsend took over for Colquitt but Tommy has the better leg and I find him less annoying so I went with him.

KR/PR: Mecole Hardman

Lots of choices here, but I felt like Hardman had to be on the team. Sure other guys had big plays like Toney and Skyy Moore but Hardman was on pretty much all our winning teams. He would sometimes leave, get cut by another team and then come back. But he had some big plays and was always dangerous with the ball in his hands. Plus he sort of bookends the dynasty with his amazing kick return that kicked off our comeback against the Texans in our first Super Bowl run and then caught the game winning td in our last Super Bowl Victory.

Special Teams player: Dirty Dan Sorenson

Dirty Dan! You can’t have a dynasty without the worse coverage safety I have seen in my lifetime. Despite giving up many big plays and having only slightly more athletic ability than I have, Dan was always in the right place at the right time with big sacks, tackles and interceptions. And he was a key part of our special teams unit coming up with several huge plays throughout the first half of the dynasty including stopping a fake punt and causing a fumble on a kickoff against the Texans.

So there you have it. My all dynasty team. Who did I leave off that should have been on there?
