Well, were are running a 3-4 so Im going to have to say first and foremost you can't run a 3-4 effectively w/o a good nose.
Id say that is the most glaring need right now.
Secondly, our linebackers are horrible. Weve got no ILB's and I think we could use an elite passrusher at the other OLB spot. So I'd say OLB is the second most glaring need right now. Despite the season Hali had, he is a liability against the run, and I still think the passrush is atrocious with him.
I really feel the Chiefs could use to two new ILB's. We need more guys in here that could stop the run. The run defense needs to improve the most. Adding a good NT, and a couple of good ILB's should do the trick. It's obvious, R. Edwards, D. Williams and Mays aren't the solutions in that category, and would best serve their roles as backups on this team.
Front 7 of the defense is the area that needs the most improvement as far as im concerned.
Id rank it in this order:
-NT
-OLB
-2 ILB's
-Safety
*I know there are a lot of Berry lovers out there, and if he is there at 5 you take him only because he is the BPA at the time when we pick and his talent and leadership skills shouldn't be overlooked. But, I will say, he addresses a need but not a most important need. It would be a luxury to have him, and I'll say this, they need to address the LBer positions or try to get a NT in rounds 2, 3, and 4. I'd love to see the linebacking corps revamped. I think that desperately needs to happen, and if the Chiefs could find a nose somewhere or if Shaun Smith could surprise, that would be a BIG plus.
