Bolded players are still on rosters in the NFL.
How many are still making a difference in the NFL? The talent on this team was a joke.

How can you say the talent was a joke, when 3 years later, other than Berry the best players on the team were inherited from the previous staff?
Carr, Flowers, Hali and DJ are the core of the defense. With Berry, those are by far the 5 best defenders on the team.
Albert is still the best offensive lineman, and Waters would be the 2nd best if he wasn't traded. Bowe is still the best receiver by far, Charles the best RB and Battle the best backup RB. TG was much better than any TE KC has put on the field.
In 3 years they've added 1 impact defender in Berry, and 1 potential impact TE who is/was always injured (and non-injured TE's who are just as good or better were available).
