Nose Tackles aren't impossible to find. The Chiefs just have to use more than undrafted picks to bring them in.

Guess I should of actually completed my thought in that last post. What I was trying to get to was that vital positions in the 3-4 (NT is one of them!) will and actually is starting to (with Wilfork) to get a lot more expensive to retain. There are a lot of teams jumping on the latest defensive fad and the quality talent pool to run it isn't that deep.
