Hmmm. Interesting point ... somewhat repetitive, but interesting nonetheless.
Here's what I think ... I think that draftabulators tend to want new/improved/better/shinier bodies all the time, whereas our coaching staff may be attempting something innovative for the Chiefs ... actually attempting to develop the young talent we have on hand.
For example, it appears to me that the LB position you mention has improved pretty dramatically (over last year) from an actual "contribution on the field" point of view ... at least it seems that way to me - based on the pre-season performances we've seen.
I also think (based on the odd roster makeup) that the staff is probably placing a far higher emphasis on special teams than many of us recognize. Part of the plan seems to be getting our fabulous quarterback premium field position ... which makes a lot of sense when you think about it ... since moving the football down the field is not his forte.
