The Chiefs still need MLB and OLB help. What about Claiborne, Polley or Holdman? Any other darkhorse candidates?
Claiborne was a stud in Detroit for a few years. He went to Minny and has disappeared into a black hole along with the rest of their defense. A new team might bring out his old form. Didn't the Chiefs make an offer to Holdman a few years back?

Yes, the Chiefs will probably end up stuck with a 2nd tier guy or two. I don't see any of those guys you listed as upgrades, though. Claiborne was a stud in college, and has been a Ryan Sims in the pros. Polley has just plain sucked for the Rams. And I don't think Holdman has come back strong from his previous knee injury. Did he even start last year for the Browns?
I think our best option is to go with Key Fox or a draftee at WLB this year, as opposed to spending money on any of those guys.
