Knowing all of that, which way should they go?

Thanks, Dude! I think both positions are in need but IMO, CB is more important.
If Houston is healthy, I think he should move to the ROLB, with Ford at LOLB. Hali, Nicolas and a draftee can rotate but it's pretty clear that Ford's best position is LOLB and smart teams put their players in the best position to win.
The Chiefs won 12 last year without the benefit of dual pas rushers for most of the season but the defense really changed with the addition of Mitchell at the end of the season. If he's a pumpkin, I'd like a guy ready to step in and if he's not, there's nothing wrong with excellent CB depth.
