Arizona can easily fill their offensive line and running back holes in one offseason. Whether it's Kolb or a second rounder or Alex Smith or Joe Flacco, the Cards are poised to reach the playoffs much more quickly than the Chiefs, which have holes everywhere along with a lack of depth.

good post. The only caveat I would add is that we think the coaching at AZ was OK. We know the coaching in KC was terrible. IF, and it's a big IF, KC were to sign either Bowe or Albert, and franchise the other, AND, the KC improves the coaching and QB play, I think that KC is a better team.
One more point, regarding QB's. Part of the reason that there don't seem to be any QB's worthy of the first pick in the draft is that evaluators typically look for the "pro style" QB with the ability to play from under center and drop back and be a pocket passer. Well, times are a changin. Look at Russel Wilson, Kapaernick, RG3. The league is opening up to the idea of the spread offense and qbs that do most of their work out of the shotgun. I'm not so sure that a Geno Smith type guy isn't the prototypical QB the NFL has in 5 years.
