They have perhaps upgraded at the DE spot with Walker over Jackson, but that still leaves 5 spots to fill with:
The 23rd pick
A 3rd rounder
A 4th rounder
A 5th rounder
2 6th rounders
and bottom barrel free agents. Or holdover players like Kelce and Commings who have shown absolutely nothing so far in the NFL.

Improving FS should not be too hard. They could sign you. You could probably outperform Lewis.
If Kelce can't improve the TE position over the cast of journeymen and undrafted scrubs trotted out last season we need to cut him now. Those positions should improve without any major moves (though not likely to be dramatic improvement) as long as the two guys aren't TERRIBAD like those they'll replace.
I definitely agree about WR and DE. Quality interior OL can be found anywhere in the draft (and after the draft) provided the team can scout them properly. I'd have liked to have nabbed Sanders.
I feel the key to improving the team is improving a pass rush that completely vanished last season at the midway mark. We haven't done anything that solves that issue at all. It was the defense that really let KC down late last season.
