I'd add LT and QB to that list as well. Albert was horrible last season and I wish that people would stop giving him a free pass just because he's young and he was a first rounder. He's had three years of starting to figure it out and it's not happening. He is a liability at the second most important position on the offensive side of the ball. And Cassel isn't good. He's inaccurate on his throws, has terrible pocket presence and doesn't see the field/go through his progressions at an NFL QB level.
I also think that Belcher was quite effective at MLB, Johnson had an excellent season (finally) and that Mays and particularly Williams were good backups at the MLB/ILB spots respectfully. The two inside LB spots along with the defensive backfield are the least of this teams concerns. Getting a defensive line that would keep the guards from getting out to the second level would help the linebackers even more.
Personally, I think that the coaching staff, particularly Crennel, did wonders last year.
They were also aided by a schedule that perfectly played to the strengths of the 2010 Chiefs team. (Bad pass rushing teams and team that don't defend the run very well.)
Next season, the schedule won't be as fortunate and I think that we'll get a better understanding of how truly ready we are to be a playoff team and where our greatest needs are from a roster perspective.
