His Pro Football Focus pass-rush grade is 68.8, which ranks him 34th out of 128 players who have played enough snaps to qualify at the position. His run defense grade is 46.0, however, which slots in at 101st.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the 30-year-old defensive tackle represents a meaningful upgrade over Chiefs defender Derrick Nnadi, who ranks dead last in overall grade for qualifying interior players and is 123rd out of 128 against the run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chiefs have a need on the edge, but a bigger need might be an upgrade on Derrick Nnadi, who is last among qualifying defensive tackles with a 13.2% run stop win rate,\u201d Aaron Schatz of ESPN wrote October 29. \u201cHe also has a 0% pass rush win rate, though he plays only a handful of clear pass-play snaps per game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus, adding Clark would significantly improve Kansas City\u2019s interior run defense, even if not to an elite level. He can also help mitigate the edge need for more pass rush by teaming up with superstar defensive tackle Chris Jones and allowing the Chiefs to create more quarterback pressure up the middle.<\/p>\n<p>Given Clark\u2019s age and play trajectory, per the advanced metrics, the Chiefs could probably procure him from the Cowboys for something in the neighborhood of a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick in 2026.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Also Potentially in Market for Running Back Ahead of NFL Trade Deadline<\/h2>\n<p>Another position to which the Chiefs may explore adding is that of running back.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">\u201cIsiah Pacheco and\u00a0Kareem Hunt aren\u2019t moving the needle in the offensive backfield for a Chiefs team that is clearly all-in right now,\u201d Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report wrote Friday.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Barnwell named running back Aaron Jones as one of the Minnesota Vikings\u2019 notable trade candidates given his contract situation and the emergence of Jordan Mason during Jones\u2019 protracted absence with a hamstring injury earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Jones is an accomplished and experienced back who could serve in a third-down role for the Chiefs as a competent pass-catcher and pass-blocker. Kansas City could probably acquire him for a Day 3 draft asset and would only be on the hook for roughly $3 million in salary over the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to upgrade the defensive line, and the Cowboys are believed to be shopping DT Kenny Clark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING NEWS : \ud83d\udd25 Chiefs\u2019 Bold Trade Pitch Could Land 3-Time Pro Bowler \ud83c\udfc8 Next to Chris Jones \u2014 A Shocking Cowboys Deal in the Works?
