If the chiefs are going to get into the playoffs they have to upgrade their talent. Benching Johnson for most of the season was a mistake and I fully expect him to do fairly well for some other team when his contract is up (which i think is this year). D. Williamms is super fast but makes up for that by his incredibly slow play recognition skills. C. Mays is awsome at blitzing the A-Gap and can occasionally break up a pass, but thats about it. Ron Edwards might be the worst nose tackle I’ve ever seen; either that or he was coached to run like a 10 year old fat kid. Strong saftey this year was essentially filled with whoever could make the least mistakes, as was FS when Page went out. Our problem is thus the middle of the football field. On film, Dorsey actually looked like a good player on a bad team. I’d say his problem was not so much lack of skills, but lack of a nose tackle pushing the pocket. Take notice of how well Hali progressed playing side by side with Dorsey. Jackson will be better in his 2nd & 3rd season. He’s big & strong – don’t measure a 3-4 DE by sacks. Lastly, I think Brandon Flowers played at a Pro Bowl level. He had a decent share of picks, and was one of the top in the league at breaking up passes. Factor in that with one of the worst past rushes and you got a guy whose breaking up several of the longest lasting plays all year long. I’m not saying Flowers is elite, but even Revis would strugle w/o his great pash rush. The raiders cb, Nhadi (spelling?) might be the only guy in the league who can cover at an elite level all day long.

I wouldnt say Dorsey or Jackson are busts, atleast not yet.They play the Dline..Anyone will tell you it takes a couple years to figure things out..Derrick Johnson wasnt used that much this year..Mays and Williams were used. I bet after his performance against the Broncos hes used a hell of alot more in 2010.

Kansas City is moving in the right direction. Even though KC should get Okung (if hes available) i think if Suh is there we get him. That will solidify our Defensive line. There are really good Olineman the Chiefs can get in the 2nd round if they dont use their 1st pick on one.

As for FA I think all of us Chiefs fan should pray for getting Brandon Marshall. I know people think hes a bad seed but I thinkk he will actually grow up just so he can burn the Broncos. Marshall/Bowe/Chambers and Charles will give Cassel all the weapons he needs.

Should be a interesting offseason but with Crennel and Weis here I expect a nice FA and Draft.

I hope this linebacker you’re talking about is a 2nd or 3rd round pick. No way should we use our first round on a linebacker. I’m thinking more along the lines of Okung from Oklahoma State or Suh from Nebraska if they’re still there.
