TE
OL
DL (pass rush ability)
All needed obvious improvements in the starting lineup.
The Chiefs have added one player (Walker) to those position groups, and it is at the least important/least critical spot.
Meanwhile, they've lost players on the OL and have done nothing but sign depth players in FA.
They're clearly counting on internal improvement and getting some impact guys out of the draft, but it's highly unlikely the Chiefs find all the answers they need and make all the roster improvements they need to build on last year's (flimsy and unlikely replicated) success.

I think KC may be banking too much on the improvement of guys they drafted who did not play last season like Kelce and Commings. If they bomb or get injured, we're in the exact same position. Those two positions honestly can't be played much WORSE than they were in 2013.
I'm really not particularly concerned with the offense. The interior OL did not play well last year, so turnover there does not alarm me. I'm concerned with the defense and our overall lack of a pass rush. KC was a good team until the defense went from being good to being 2008 over the course of a bye-week.
I understand the concerns, but not the tantrums being thrown.
