I would, I think the middle of both lines are the weakest spots on the roster at the moment. They need a nose tackle, and they need a center, both in the worst way. Neither of those are positions I'd address early in the draft, however.

The QB play is awful.
I would say the QB play was inconsistent. Either way, no position in team sports is more dependent upon the players around him; I just can't look at it in a bubble, not when there are obvious problems with the line, not when there are obvious problems at receiver and tight end. The only reliable thing the Chiefs offense had in 2009 was Jamaal Charles, and it took them half the year to figure that out. I said this before the year started, and I said it after the year ended: it reminds me of Trent Green in 2001. Half the offense they put on the field last year were players cut from other teams, several cut during the season. I'm not going to tell anybody their opinion is wrong, but speaking for myself, I will say that I can't fairly gauge the performance of Cassel last year, because, simply put, that was the worst offensive roster I have ever seen, and I don't believe anybody could succeed under those circumstances. Not Cassel, not Manning, not Joe frikkin' Montana.

Just how I see it. And I should note that that's not a statement in support of Cassel. I have no idea if he can transform from Trent Green 2001 to Trent Green 2002-2005. I just don't know what he is.

And we KNOW what's wrong with the D. Opposed to the O, in which "this could've been causing this to look worse, or that made this player look worse/better," blah blah blah.

With the D, we KNOW what's wrong. So lets fix that first.
How about they do something crazy and select the best player on the board. The Chiefs have plenty of holes to fill, I don't think they need to go out of their way to limit their additions to one side of the ball. If that's Berry, great. If that's McClain, great. If they think it's Bryant or Spiller, great.

Anything but a LT who's no better than the starter they already have...
