I have to strongly disagree with this statement.
The Colts, after going 2-14, turned in an 11-5 season and a playoff berth. They have Reggie Wayne, Vontae Davis, Dwight Freeney (on the downside of his career but still a factor), Pat Angerer, Robert Mathis, Donnie Avery and a shit ton of very promising young players in Anthony Costanzo, T.Y. Hilton, Vick Ballard, Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen.
You could make the argument that with a good draft, the Chiefs might mirror the Colts, but I don't think the Colts are incomplete. With another solid offseason, they'll be the best team in the AFC South for a long time, especially considering it looks like Houston needs a QB and Jacksonville and Tennessee are nowhere near competing for a playoff spot, let alone a division title.

See above. I still find it highly unlikely that the Chiefs will have a record of 11-5 or better, regardless of which QB is taken at #1 overall. There are holes, gaping holes, at CB, Safety, ILB and QB and depth is needed all throughout the defensive side of the ball.
Another factor to keep in mind is that the Chiefs
don't know how to win. The majority of this roster consists of guys that have played on exactly one winning team in five seasons and zero playoff wins.
It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to early to predict a winning season when there have been no offseason moves, let alone, the draft.
The Chiefs have a long, long way to go.
