Kinda. He starts out by saying that it's not remotely clear that the Chiefs defense as it stands right now is better than last season.
He then addresses the cap:

The Chiefs are currently ranked 12th in salary-cap space according to the most recent information, and that actually undersells the flexibility the Chiefs currently have under the cap. Because they chose to designate Berry as a post-June 1 cut, his cap savings will not be felt until after that date. At that point, the Chiefs will receive another $9.55 million in cap relief, bringing them up to nearly $32 million in cap space, close to top 5 in the league. This allows them to spend right up to the cap limit before then. And that’s without making any other cap-saving moves like moving on from veterans such as safeties Daniel Sorensen and Eric Murray.

He then goes on to argue that we have the means (extra draft picks) and the need to add someone like Clowney, Lawrence (mentions a 1st and a 2nd), or Peterson (two 2nds).
He's seeing the same thing that we're all seeing. And he's noting the same thing we're all noting - that is, Veach is known to be aggressive and this defense still really needs either an edge rusher or a shutdown corner.
Hard to disagree with anything in the article.
