I don't think "shitty" is the right word to use. I think this team has a really solid young base of players that they brought in through the draft and undrafted free agent market. Too bad most of them are geared for a 4-3. Keep in mind that building a roster isn't just about putting 22 outstanding starters on the field. It's often about bringing in quality depth at every position. It's a safe play, but Turk McBride will probably be more of a contributor in the NFL than over half of the second rounders. Even if he doesn't end up being a starter (granted, the move to a 3-4 might keep that from happening).
I'm very happy with the foundation of this team. Moving to a 3-4 takes us a step back, which is fine, but the youth movement brought in a lot of what I believe will be long-term solutions for the Chiefs.
