With the trade and signing of Patrick Surtain today, the Chiefs have done a great job this offseason of improving their one weakness...Defense.
besides Surtain the Kansas City Cheifs have signed free agent middle linebacker Kendrell Bell, safety Sammy Knight, and pass-rush specialist Carlos Hall. They will have a much better defense this year.

The chiefs get the Danny-boy Snyder Award for the best acquisitions of the off-season and have won the paper Super Bowl trophy that comes along with it.

THey look good. I'm not happy about having to play thme, especially in KC, where they are very tough. I don't think this is just an "on paper" improvment.

Adding Surtain and Knight is good for KC.
Hall may be really good or he may be really ordinary depending on how he is used and how they work to get him some open runs into the backfield.
Bell is long in the tooth. I'm not sure he's such a big addition.
Bell is a 5-year vet, if that's long in the tooth...
KC has made some good moves on paper, it's yet to be seen if it will come together on the field.

their defense is too piss poor to be solved by those couple of players. they'll be a bit better but still not that good.

good for them and us, if we do descide to trade down it allows us not to have to worry that KC will take a CB and it leaves us more free to trade down a little farther.
THat draft show showed that there are like 7 teams after us who want a DE and many of them would love to get to the top of the pack to get their desired player, We can trade down just a little and get our player that we want and an extra pick

After having the #2 offence the last time Skins made the playoffs. We went out and got Deion - CB. Bruce - DE(Pass rush specialist) Mark Carrier - Safety, and I can't remember who else(Jeff George, but that's offense.) Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. These moves will probably prove to be as signifigant as the same move Danny made(which we all bash) and result in nothing. Seems very similar though. No? High rated O and lousy D. Maybe and 8-8 record? We'll see.

I still think the best offseason by any team so far has been for the Minnesota Vikings and its not even close. I mean all four of their players in the backfield have the potential to be pro-bowlers and then the addition by subtraction of the proverbial tumor in Randy Moss. People make a big deal about the impact his departure will have on the vikings offense but last year Culpepper showed he could utilize a multitude of targets and the team scored more than 25 points . I mean freakin Jermaine Wiggins was their leading reciever for crying out loud. I know I'm glad we'd only have to play them in the playoffs if a matchup were to occur this season.
