If you break it down by area:
DL: A good deal of talent and upside, but Dorsey doesn't fit this scheme and probably isn't long for KC. Jackson and Magee are going to be your starters for a while. Beyond those two, there really is nothing of note on the line.
LB: We've gotta have the worst LB corps in the league...here we go again...again. McBride will probably be cut shortly, Hali is a 4-3 LE who just doesn't have the flexibility or hips to drop into coverage, Vrabel is pretty much a pass rushing specialist at this point, DJ is a will backer in a 4-3, and the ted backers are ok.
S: Morgan is a very talented player with a lot of upside, but I've always been high on him; others won't be so forgiving. Page is meh personified. McGraw is just a STer, and Brown can't stay out of the whirlpool.
CB: By far the most talented portion of our team. Flowers is a future PBer, Carr is a solid #2, Leggett is a decent player with talent, and Washington has all the upside you'd want in a CB
QB: Cassel has size, mobility, and he's accurate on the short routes, but he's never demonstrated an ability to make the throws that can stretch a defense (20 yard square in, 16 yard out, skinny post). Doesn't mean he can't, but he needs to prove that he can.
WR: Bowe, and the worst collection of 2-5 in the league. Almost no speed, no upside, and very little size
TE: Cottam has physical tools, but he's more of an athlete than a football player. The other two are pretty much trash
RB: LJ is washed up, but servicable. Charles is a good change of pace, the other two are p. much trash
OL: Unconscionably awful. Albert is a good LT, and the lone bright spot on the line. Waters is a declining player whose deficiencies were covered up by Willie Roaf. Niswanger and Goff are bottom five players at their position. Richardson has upside, but he's more of a LT and he's a little soft. They need to get him to tap into some hatred to play RT. Everyone else is lucky to have a job.
It's just a really, really bad football team with holes all around. Our talent evaluation has been so bad since the early 90's that we've got absolutely nothing.
