I like Belcher too, but he still has just as much potential to be adequate as he does to be outstanding. David Harris is already outstanding, and he was outstanding even when the Jets had major problems at Nose Tackle. And he is phenomenal against the run, which would be huge for the Chiefs.

There are plenty of options at RT and the Slot if the Chiefs want to wait for the second wave. They could still probably land a guy like Jamaal Brown, Marshall Yanda, or Ryan Harris, probably without breaking the bank. At Slot, Lance Moore and James Jones shouldn't break the bank. Hell, I don't think not bringing one in changes the offense much at all. At the Nose, you could go with a guy like Aubrayo and only have weight on your cap for 2 years.

Just another point here.

We disagree on the value of the slot receiver, especially in this offense, with Cassel at the helm.

The more weapons that Cassel has, the better, and a reliable slot in 3rd down situations for cassel would be huge.

And it all still comes down to priorities.

We could wait for the second wave, but in either scenario, daivid Harris is not a priority at this time.
