Chiefs Gas on the Fire: Shutdown Corner Gives Chiefs "F" in FA.

Someone brought this up on twitter, made a lot of sense to me. Here in KC, we haven't ever drafted really well, we as fans focus a lot of the problem being based on scouting etc.

However, very few guys come into the league and dominate from day 1, or even consistently play well. Seems we should be more focused on development of said players.

Which brings me to my point, I don't think we've ever had the right setup for sustained success in acquisition and development of players.

Marty's staff were good/great developers, Carl wasn't very good in the draft. Same wth vermeil.

I don't know what was going on with pioli, likely neither.

We can hope this front office and coaching staff can successfully match up. I think te coaching staff has proven to be able to develop players, don't know about the acquisition part yet.
