Chiefs Building a defense in the modern NFL

This is an interesting topic. The changes in the rules around DBs has made it very difficult to play defense. Even with limited contact, offenses still run rub routes to get players open without really being concerned about the consequences. Being able to dictate what the other team does seems like a good strategy however you have to have the players to do it.

Players like Mahomes have to make it hard of defenses; his is mobile and throws the ball on the run as well as he does in the pocket, maybe better. I'm not sure we are going to see dominant defenses like the Ravens, which the Chiefs routinely torched, again.

It's going to be even tougher if you are always drafting in the end of each round like the Chiefs have been.
