I get your argument and I agree and am also upset that the Chiefs haven't been more active in free agency. However, I do take exception to the string of posts that say we have so many "must fill" positions.
While I think those are needs above that would be good to fill, that's different from holes we need to fill. Can you live with one average safety? Yes. Can you live with two average ILBs? In my opinion, yes. Can you live with average play from your two guards? In my opinion, yes. No team is going to have great players at every position.
In this defense, I would argue that you absolutely must fill NT, OLB, I would argue one playmaker at safety. On offense, I would argue that if you sign Bowe/Chambers, you're okay for the short-term. And of course, you need a QB--starting to doubt that that guy is Cassel. At the rest of the positions, if we settle on "average", it's not going to kill us.
