Is this a serious question? In 2003, the Chiefs went on a huge spending binge bringing in Shawn Barber, Vonnie Holliday, Dexter McCleon. 2004 they were quiet, but attempted to fill in their Right Tackle problem with John Welbourn. In 2005, they binged again by bringing in Sammy Knight, Kendrell Bell, trading big for Patrick Surtain. You'll recall that during the entire DV era, it was extremely difficult for rookies to win starting jobs.

And in 2005, rather than cut the cord and rebuild, we decided to spend money on McIntosh and Ty Law to band aid the team.

And what have they done this offseason?

Except let 3 starting quality OL walk, of course.

I even started a thread a couple months back about how this offseason feels similar to the 2004 offseason in many ways.

Jeff linkinburg and Joe Mays to the rescue, ladies and gentlemen!!!

This team has been shitty in all phases of the game the last 20 years.

We've had a top 5 offense twice and a top 10 defense twice in the last 40 years...

Everyone wanted to build through the draft.

Well, we're doing it...

Everybody wanted us to spend all of our money and be up against the cap number.

We have done that too!

Building through the draft only works when those drafted players see the field.

Its usually better to build through the draft with a lot low round picks.

I meant that it's silly for people to say a draft first strategy is something we have always done. Free agency, draft, we have tried both and failed.

I think what he's hinting at is if you keep plugging holes in free agency and trusting unproven guys, then these young guys may never see the field.

And the approach you're recommending is eerily similar to 2003 and 2005. By the way, I think it was 2004 when they restructured green, a few other ggu us, and made a bunch of releases to barely squeeze under the cap. It's these kinds of decisions that led to a massive bubble burst after vermeil left.

yep. And I expect 4 or 5 players from last years draft to be starting or at least major contributors.

You know what approach the Chiefs have never tried?- Having a franchise QB. Let me know when the Chiefs have a top 5 QB. Until then, they're just dicking the dog.

I wouldn't say Russell Wilson is a top 5 QB.
