Lanier is the right pick. He anchored what is arguably the best defense in Chiefs' history. He gets it over DT because he won a Superbowl.

Lanier is a reasonable choice.

That ‘69 defense was sick. With 2 HoFers at every level.

Bobby Bell
Buck Buchanan
Curly Culp
Willie Lanier
Johnny Robinson
Emmitt Thomas

Three other players made the pro-bowl or were second-team All Pro that year:

Jim Lynch
Jerry Mays
Jim Marcellus

Only two starters never received any post season accolades, but both had very solid careers:

Aaron Brown
Jim Kearney
