Since the NFL only plays a base defense about 35% of the time, 4-3/3-4 is important only in what it allows you to do on 2nd/3rd down. I think the Chiefs know what players likely fit the base defense, but the question is if a player is a sub package player, can you get the amount of value out of what you have to pay him? Veach is building the club with an eye on the cap and I think will draft best defensive talent available. I would not be surprised at all if we trade down from our one based on player value and team needs. So I bet we tag Ford and look for 4-3 players in the draft or on the street. If someone wants Ford at an advantageous deal then let him go.
