Why would we acquire a non-elite DE?
The Chiefs DE rotation, by December, will be Karlaftis/Omenihu/Danna/FAU. That's a fine rotation.
Bringing on a DE means you're likely benching FAU so your unnamed veteran can play 15 snaps a game, which isn't necessary given that he's playing acceptably. We have the fifth-highest pressure rate in the NFL.
If they're making a serious acquisition, it's got to be an offensive skill position or CB. Those are the last remaining spots on this roster where there are a lot of snaps to fill and minimally talented guys to bench.
Edit: Left tackle as well.
