The problem is Alex Smith, the QB everyone on here cheers for needs help. A lot of people, on here, realize that, and it comes off negative that they push the agenda of "please get some ****ing help around our QB so he can keep us in games/win them without the other 21 starters (mostly the 11 on defense) pissing it away/losing it.

Russel Wilson doesn't win a Super Bowl without all the help he had on that defense.

But that's the problem with the Chiefs, people want FA help because the Chiefs aren't getting much help from the draft. If the Chiefs actually had good ****ing drafts that helped the team nobody would give a shit about FAs. But the Chiefs are a franchise that walks the line of getting no help from the draft and doing nothing in FA and YOU CANT DO BOTH LIKE THAT. You either need to get some FA help if your drafts are shitty or stay out of FA if you have good drafts. The Chiefs don't do either of those well. And that's the conundrum.

We aren't on the same exact page, but we're close.

I hate that we used the first overall pick on Fisher, but I'm willing to give that time to see how he ultimately pans out, though he will never fully justify the pick.
I'm also patient enough to see how the other picks play out.

I won't judge Dorsey's drafts based on previous regimes.

That being said, this team is not nearly as far away from competing with Denver and New England as zilla paints it in order to justify his support of this offseason approach.

We have All Pro quality players on all 3 levels of this defense in Poe, Hali, Houston, DJ, and Berry, and a legimate pro bowl level CB (read not popularity contest winner) in Flowers.

Fix the FS position and add a pass rusher in front 7, and this team can not only compete, but win.

That's 3 players that push this defense into a top 10 unit.

I went into free agency hoping to add Malcolm Jenkins, or someone of similar ability, and Emanuel Sanders, or, again, someone of similar ability.

That would have allowed us some flexibility in this draft to add players that could step into a couple of spots and help this team in 2014.

This bullshit of stockpiling comp picks to build for the future is just that, bullshit,

This team, with Alex Smith, has a window now.

That window starts to close in 3 years.
