That is absolutely untrue.
The Chiefs have "sucked" on that side of the ball due to lack of adequate play at the safety, cornerback and interior defensive line. They've been virtually talentless at those positions for more than a decade, though the players selected in the 2008 draft may bring long-term stability to the cornerback position (interior d-line is still a question mark).
As much as I liked Dino Hackett as a player, his presence the past few seasons wouldn't have made much, if any difference on these woefully undermanned Chiefs defenses.
Poor drafting for more than a decade led to the current state of the Chiefs defense.
Not a lack of a MLB.
