How exactly are the Chiefs weaker? They still have their LT/RG of the future. They don't have Dorsey, Morgan, or Cottam, but none of those three have been helpful this year so far. They, instead, have a 26-year-old stud DE.
Do you really think Dorsey, Cottam, and Morgan are equal to JA right now? Wouldn't the Chiefs be better off with a real DE and not an ineffective DT and backup S and TE?
If you really, really believe these three will exceed JA in value someday, you are in for severe disappointments.
Signing JA, drafting a RT and LT/RG (depending on where you want to play Albert) sometime in the 3rd-7th rounds, and signing a free-agent DT were the obvious ways to go this offseason. Not what the Chiefs actually did.
