We have too many holes in role positions which I would love to fill in the back of the draft. At times we are relying on average players in key positions like DeVito, when the draft should be finding you playmakers to fill that spot. And we are really overrating how critical some of our core guys are. Houston and Hali, yes. Dj and Flowers, very replaceable. I get that we can draft and make some free agent moves at the same time. But we really make it much harder to extend our window past a few years.

We almost beat an indy team that got whalloped in the second round by a team that is even better this year and didn't even win the conference. I think we are a good team and I get why people's concerns about our draft history creates urgency to win now. But sorry, I think the win now strategy only sets us up for disappointment and a guaranteed collapse by year 3. Just my personal opinion.

Unless we get a QB that grows with the guys we are drafting in the next couple drafts, that window is closing in 3 years anyway.

And since I'm talking about 2nd contract mid tier free agents, we are talking about players that can play with this team for several years, vs. 2 late round picks in a draft that is being labeled as the weakest in years.

I would want the chiefs to follow the Seahawks and 49ers strategy. But am prepared for them to be stupid and not do that. I want them to draft mettenbetger or Murray. Hell draft a QB high every year. Trust me, I realize how many things have to go right for that window to stay open. I believe a good GM can easily do it. I am not convinced yet Dorsey is a good GM but will give him a shot to try.
