ANY TEAM that has turnover is going to keep the 7 best players from the prior team of FIFTY ****ING THREE.
What player that Peterson drafted is tearing it up on another team? Oh that's right. It's Jared Allen and Tony Gonzalez. And who got rid of them? Carl Peterson.
(And god help me, if some asshole says "Bernard Pollard...")

Uh... Scott Pioli got rid of Tony Gonzalez.
And it's 7 holdover starters (8 if you count the punter) going into the 4th year of a new regime. There's a lot of turnover on any team over 4 years and there's even more when you have a GM change and 2 coaching changes during that period. I'm not going to do the legwork to compare it to other teams under comparable circumstances, but I'd be surprised to find out that the Chiefs are less represented by the draftees of their former regime than the average similarly situated NFL team 4 years out.
