The Chiefs have six Pro-Bowlers on the team. And they just shored up any questions that they had in terms of positions with very good free agent signings.
Alex Smith is a gutty, tough, smart guy who leads by example. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes and having guys like Bowe, Charles and Fasano along with the makings of a pretty good offensive line and a very good defense, this team is set up to have Alex Smith be successful.
I wasn't necessarily a fan of the trade, especially considering that we gave up two seconds, but it was without question the best option available to help this team move forward in the right direction as quickly as possible. And Smith was ascending the past two seasons, playing at a pretty high level. This was not giving up a second round pick for Matt Cassel type of situation. Alex Smith can actually play in this league.
