The Chiefs have some problems with balance on offense which makes it possible for good defenses to make the Chiefs offense look poor. They can't run the ball between the tackles very well and they don't have a second perimeter receiving threat to balance Bowe. With next years schedule, a more balanced offense will be needed to avoid slipping back to 6-10.
IMO, Wiegmann was only signed for 1 yr. because Pioli/Haley plan to sign Arizona FA OC Lyle Sendlien as he has familiarity with Haley's offense and led Haley's OL in the SB. Asomoah needs to win the RG spot to get the interior OL at least to a minimal level of "push the pile" physicality.
Getting a decent pro WR like Lee Evans (Bills), Ben Obomanu (Seahawks), James Jones (Packers), or Mike Sims-Walker (Jaguars) in FA, along with a more physical interior OL, would go a long way towards making opposing defenses respect the Chief's ability to attack the entire field on every play.
I don't think Pitt WR Jon Baldwin is quick enough to get separation against nfl corners. But if he can carry 235 lbs. without losing speed or quickness, he could be a safety and linebackers nightmare as a Shannon Sharpe type TE/H-back/slot receiver as long as he's willing to block like Sharpe did. Don't know if that would appeal to Pioli/Haley at #21.
