The same could be said for a lot of teams.
Dorsey's done a great job of building the roster but right tackle and left guard are glaring holes. When a guy as mobile as Alex Smith is the most sacked QB in the NFL, your offensive line has problems with pass protection.
Plus, the Chiefs won't be a position to get a "Blue Chip" rated pre-draft player so their best best is later in the draft, undrafted or in free agency but I think it's highly unlikely the Chiefs can acquire a Maclin-type player that can fill that role immediately, anyways. I look for Conley and Wilson to make even bigger leaps in 2016.
Plus, as DJ pointed out, the #2 isn't the second option in this offense, it's the tight end.
