I'm interested to see what other positions Dorsey and co address to make us competitive next year. Run D is obvious.

Why waste a year with Smith? Why not let the rookie get playing time? If Carr, Mariota, Winston, Prescott and Wilson can come in and start right away, why is KC going to burn a year of non-development.
