The Facts: Cassel said he is fully recovered from the hand injury that sidelined him for the last seven weeks of last season, emphasizing that he is expecting big things for the Chiefs. “I feel great, I’m ready to roll,” Cassel said. “I feel like our team will come out stronger. We suffered through a lot of injuries last year to some key people but they should be coming back stronger and the coaches are very optimistic.”

Diehards Line:The Chiefs played almost all of last season without All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles, pro bowl safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki, finishing 7-9 and last in the AFC West, atlhough they had an outside chance in late December to win the division. Every player except wide receiver Dwayne Bowe -- who is asking for a new contract -- was at the Chiefs’ organized team activities this month, said Cassel. He also noted the team is beginning to gel behind new HC Romeo Crennel and OC Brian Daboll. Does any or all of the above make Cassel draftworthy for you? We're not going that far -- but we'll remind you that everybody has some value. Even if it's free-agent value.
