Second yes, it does say a lot about the talent evaluation that had been going on here. This roster will be turned over until both Pioli and Haley feel like they have the right guys in place. If people want to continue to make fun of the "right 53" phrase go ahead, but it's the same mantra that Parcells and Belichick chant as well. And right now I don't think we have more than a handful of the "right 53" in place. So it's very possible that next season that the Chiefs could struggle again. If the offensive line gets fixed this next offseason we could take a big jump in competitiveness. But we also need linebackers, a safety or possibly two, a true nose tackle, a better blocking fullback, and possibly two more running backs.
this team is a long way from competing and anyone who expected a record even nearing .500 this year spent too much time with their head in a paint can.

I'll take this a step further. I think they only need the "right handful" of players for the rest of the 53 to fall in line. They really don't have that yet. They need positive examples in every unit to validate the notion that buying into the new chiefs vision makes them a better team. And they need to instill that to the point where the PLAYERS are policing it. Then Haley can get on with the task of exploiting oposing teams.
