For reference:
Here is what the GM inherited. I am saying "GM" because Scott Pioli wrecking that defense apart to install a 3-4 was incredibly stupid:
Defense:
DL: Hali-Tyler/Ron Edwards-Dorsey-McBride
LBs: Demorrio Williams-Shit-DJ
CB: Carr-Flowers
S: Page-Pollard
Offense:
QB: No QB
OL: Albert-Waters-Wade Smith-McIntosh-Barry Richardson
RB: Charles/LJ
WR: Bowe-shit-shit
TE: Tony Gonzalez
The Chiefs needed a QB, 1 or 2 WRs, 2 OL (at least), 2 LBs, 1-2 DL. That's 7-8 new starters.
Sound familiar? We've seen GMs fill that type of roster before. With $7M, John Dorsey brought in a QB, a WR (Avery), a Guard (Schwartz), a DT (Devito), an ILB (Jordan), a CB (Sean Smith). In addition to drafting 2 starters (Fisher, Kelce/Fasano). That's 8 new starters.
Imagine what Dorsey would have done with $50M in cap space if he inherited that roster above (in 2009 cap money).
