McCluster has been the featured guy this past preseason in the Chiefs offense and played well.
Brown, Powe, Bailey and Stanzi are just starting their second year after a first year that didn't have a training camp, and saw a head coaching change. Brown and Bailey contributed last year in situational play and were effective. Powe has looked the best of all the NT on the roster this preseason.
It doesn't happen overnight, and it doesn't happen through free agency. The past three drafts have been superb in filling in the holes and getting better talent on this team.
You want a reason to bitch about shitty drafts? Go look at the 20 years previous to Pioli and see how many of those guys in those drafts stuck around after a couple of years.
It's refreshing to see our draft picks develop within the system and stick around. It's a good way to build a quality team.
