I look at this class and I see Ryan Anderson, Carl Lawson and Solomon Thomas as real options here that present tremendous value. I see Justin Houston's history of getting hurt often since Andy stepped foot at Arrowhead. I see Dee Ford having an injury filled career at Auburn and battling a few nagging injuries this year.
Most importantly, I can't get the disgusting picture of Frank Zombo rushing and a tackle holding him at bay with relative ease.
I think another strong pass rusher can be a huge asset down the road and would make this defense even better.

I think people fall into the 'just get more pass rushers' trap a little too much.
Ford and Houston will be here for another couple of years at least. And while I'm fine looking at depth guys to put behind them, I think we need starters at all the positions ahead of OLB (as I'm still not confident Berry is back), with the obvious exception of the developmental QB.
Just stacking high-value draft picks behind each other doesn't help much when you're in a situation where you can win a championship right this very minute and have a number of places that need to be firmed up.
