The truth is, we are about to clear a ton of cap space that is essentially dead weight anyways. We aren't having to cut major contributors that we can't replace.
So you've got Veach set to take some portion of his $30+M in cap space and devote it directly to key needs that can be upgraded pretty easily. You've got the draft, which we should have more picks in once the Smith trade occurs, to directly devote those resources to upgrading on defense quickly. Maybe offense in some spots.
Whoever the guy is who wrote this just doesn't see the big picture, like most talking heads. He's looking at names and numbers and assuming the Chiefs are in a black hole, when they really aren't.
The 53 should absolutely be better in '18.

You've mentioned it a couple of times and it's true and a little encouraging. The players we need to replace with potential FA/rookies have been so bad that anything should be an upgrade.
Anything we get opposite Houston next year is an improvement over this year. It also shouldn't be hard to improve the #2 CB position.
Upgrading at G and DL will probably take more skill by Veach considering we aren't bare at those positions, but do need improvement.
