Championship defenses are won in the front 7, and more specifically the ability to rush the passer. Especially in today's football. When you get to the end of the road everyone's got a franchise QB... it's being able to disrupt the other team's passer the best. The Giants won two Super Bowls with a no-name secondary... and the Patriots have been to multiple Super Bowls playing WRs and other assorted garbage in the secondary. Now of course you don't have to be that brutal with the position... but the NFL has neutered the position, just like running backs.

I agree that pass rushers are more important. However, the bold weren't very good players when they arrived in KC, so they don't really help with your point.
