Sure. But you can't compare this team to the 90s squads until a dominant, consistant threat emerges.
While getting sacks off blitzes, coverage, and line stunts are well and good, it's not a consistent, fear-inducing method found in dominant teams.
I'll be shocked if this team ends up in the top ten defensively. There are plenty of talent holes still in it. But a top 15 or top 20 defense certainly isn't out of the question. Should the offense and special teams return to form, that will be enough to make this squad extremely hard to beat. And that was the basis behind the Chiefs' strategy in the offseason anyway.
