The football equivalent to the Battlestar Galactica finale.

It was a thin roster on Jan 4, 2014.
It is much more so now.

It's that the Chiefs roster clearly had some holes throughout the season and at the end of the year. FS WR TE OL DL (pass rush ability) All needed obvious improvements in the starting lineup. The Chiefs have added one player (Walker) to those position groups, and it is at the least important/least critical spot. Meanwhile, they've lost players on the OL and have done nothing but sign depth players in FA. They're clearly counting on internal improvement and getting some impact guys out of the draft, but it's highly unlikely the Chiefs find all the answers they need and make all the roster improvements they need to build on last year's (flimsy and unlikely replicated) success.

They needed a QB. They got a QB. The plan is like always - to build the best team possible in order to compete for a Super Bowl. What type of "plan" were you expecting? 2013 was the first season under Reid and Dorsey, they brought in a proven 29 year old QB to go with five Pro Bowlers on defense, drafted the future cornerstone blind side protector and got the best available press cover corner on the market in Sean Smith. The team went 10-6 and made the playoffs after the worst season in franchise history. The primary building blocks are in place and it looks like they will continue to build the team through the draft as most good teams do. Because they let a guard walk who is on his fourth team in four years and a punt returner/utility guy go, everyone thinks this team all of a sudden has no direction? Jesus Christ...get a ****ing grip people. |

Seriously I've never seen such a collective hissy fit over losing so many marginal players. |

1) They gave up way too much in draft picks because Baalke knew they had Reid over the barrel on interest in him. So now they're potentially short one starter that could've been acquired last year in the second round and most likely in this year's second round. 2) Smith's next contract will be expensive, so they'll be less likely and able to sign FAs that can fill in holes or from re-signing other key guys on the roster.
