We’re going to be breaking up the weekly Kansas City Chiefs' mailbag into two parts, one posting Saturday and the other Sunday. Here is this week’s Saturday edition. Look for part II on Sunday.

To ask a question for a future edition, send it to me via Twitter (@adamteicher) and tag it #ChiefsMail.

@adamteicher #ChiefsMail What are we expecting from Alex Smith now that he has a proven WR, and a better Oline than last years? — kiA ebadat (@KEbadat) March 13, 2015

@adamteicher: There's pressure on Alex Smith to live up to his contract and make the Jeremy Maclin signing work for the Chiefs. What he's done for the Chiefs over the last two seasons is a fine start but for them to be a true Super Bowl contender they need more from him. I can't give you numbers because that can depend on a lot of factors but they need to improve. By the way, I wouldn't assume the Chiefs are going to be dramatically better along the offensive line. Maybe they will, but Eric Fisher at left tackle needs to also make improvement like Smith.

@adamteicher Could you see the Chiefs picking Cam Erving from FSU to set our line with that 18th pick? #ChiefsMail — Phillip McGruder (@mcgruderpmac) March 13, 2015

@adamteicher: Given their situation at center, Erving from Florida State would make a lot of sense for the Chiefs. They don't seem content with what they have at center right now so Erving is definitely a player to watch for the Chiefs.

@adamteicher If Todd Gurley is there at pick 18 do you think Chiefs should draft him? #ChiefsMail — Cory Ramsey (@25Cramsey25) March 20, 2015

@adamteicher: Gurley is the talented Georgia running back but I think the Chiefs should pass if they have the chance at him. At some point they need to think about their long-term replacement for Jamaal Charles. I don't think Knile Davis is a good choice for them in that role. But Charles still appears to have something left in the tank and if that's the case Gurley wouldn't be the wise use of a first-round pick.

@adamteicher Are there any rumors that other teams may try to sign Justin Houston, or is it looking like he's staying put? #ChiefsMail — Benedict Cumberbatch (@Ben_Cumber98) March 20, 2015

@adamteicher: It's been quiet on that front so for now at least it doesn't appear Houston will be moving on to another team. Houston would command a huge contract for another club. Having to give two first-round draft picks in addition would be a hefty price for any team to pay for even someone of Houston's ability, accomplishments and potential. That's not to say it won't happen, perhaps even after the draft.
