Our D needs a huge upgrade at DT or at least and good rotation of thick guys. We need to get a better DE rotation also…we need more pressure on the QB. I like Derrick Johnson and Love Tamba Hali! They need to give Studebaker more time inside and find another OLB. Maybe Gilberry switch to outside?? If we get more pressure on the QB i dont think we will need a single replacement in the secondary with Berry and Lewis at S and Carr and Flowers at CB with Arenas in the slot.

Im worried about the Special Teams. Seems as though Succop and Colquit are decent. I really love the guys, but where is the leg?! They both seem to not have enough. I hope they prove me wrong.

As for our returners. Put mccluster in as the returners and arenas as the back-up!

I’m not an NFL GM, coach or scout. I’m just a 47 year old fan of the KC Chiefs. A fan for as long as I can remember (about 1969) and a fan with an opinion.

In the last ten years of KC history, Trent Green the only full-time QB to have a better year than Cassel (Huard had a good year one time playing in only 10 games). Sure Green threw for way-more yards, but that was a totally different (and exciting) offense with better O-line and better receivers. Cassel has been a top ten QB for two of the past three years.

The last two games, both played after Weis announced he was taking his talents south, were poorly played by the O-line, defense, and QB. It was also poorly called offensively. All of this together, made the QB look much really bad. They didn’t stay on the field long enough to get anything going. Unfortunately, this is what a lot of people (especially those who don’t follow the Chiefs) will remember.

I obviously have a different opinion of him than you do. I guess mine is more in line with those (player, coaches and fans) who voted for him to be in the pro-bowl. With that said, I agree they should try to up-grade. In my opinion, the only un-upgradeable player we have is Charles. I would put Jackie Battle in more than Jones next year, but use Charles the same way they did this year, not over doing it like a lot of people want. I think we need a NT/DT, I would draft Corey Liuget from Illinios. If he is gone, I would go to Ayers at LB. McClusters was a disappointment. Yea, he’s exciting, sometimes, but he seems fragile. I would like to see them pick up a QB that could seriously challenge Matt. That is good for the team and I’d like that. Brodie Croyle is not going to challenge anyone and I am not that big on Palko. The QBs you mentioned won’t have a chance of beating out pro-bowler Cassel. I’m a fan of Cassel because he’s my QB. Can we do better, yes absolutely. Are we in position to draft a better QB or is there a better QB in the draft, no. Are there any free agent QBs that would be an upgrade, I don’t know. But I would pick up some of them to compete. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Peyton Manning store or Tom Brady store to go to and pick up a star QB. You know, Cassel might have been the second best QB in college the year Leinhart won the Heisman, we’ll never know.

I would disagree with you on Leonard Pope though. He caught a few passes, but I think his blocking was less than mediocre. I guess he is an ok piece to have as a #2, but I don’t see your logic in that “he is good.”

Other than that, I agree with you on the rest of your grades. Great job!
