The "Gunther will make a difference" fantasy can finally be put to rest.
The Chiefs can build on Jared Allen and Lionel Dalton on D-Line, but need new DE and new DT (unless Sims decides he's going to step up sometime in the near-future).
The Chiefs have nothing at LB. They need to start from scratch.
The Chiefs have maybe one adequate nickel or maybe dime CB among Warfield/McCleon/Bartee, but need two new starters at CB.
The Chiefs have one adequate safety among Wesley and Harts, but nothing outstanding.
So, by my count, we need a new starting DT, a new starting DE, three new starting LBs, two new starting CBs and at least one new starting safety.
Of course I won't be holding my breath that they make these changes. It's sad to see so much offensive talent wasted on the complete lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball.
