The Chiefs know they will occasionally have to rely on their scouting and youth in order to tread water at a given position from time to time. This is one of those times. The fact that they've largely been planning on it gives me a little bit of hope that they're confident they can get the production they need from the interior.
It's risky. At best we're just okay at DE (assuming Jones plays well when he splits out and someone like Danna takes a significant step) and at worst we're going to be downright wretched. But it's a risk we have to take. The offseason gave us no other options for acquiring better talent at the position. And we simply weren't going to reach in the draft for one singular position on a player we were meh on when so many other great things could be done with those draft picks (specifically Creed Humphrey and Nick Bolton)
