The Chargers defense seems to be slightly overrated and the Chiefs defense slightly underrated. I see both as top 15 units with a chance at the top 10.

Well, one of these teams had a top 15 unit last season....the other didn't.
They're better at corner, and safety is a toss up. Sure, normally Eric Berry would be considered the better player over a rookie, but we don't know what Eric Berry has left or how good Derwin James is either. I'd call it a wash until proven otherwise.
For pass rushers they have Bosa and Ingram, which are a better combo than Houston/Ford.
At NT, we have a relative unknown. They have Brandon Mebane who produced well for them last season.
Fact is, one of these defenses is loaded with young talent, the other has aging stars and 50/50 upside players.
That Chargers D is in its prime for now and the immediate future. They're gonna be talented D for the next 2-3 years at least. Kinda like the Chiefs before DJ, Hali and Houston started breaking down.
