Need to add a OLB somewhere. That's probably where I'd use one of those 2nd round picks.

I really hate this class for rush linebackers. Aside from about 3-4 guys that should all go 1st round, it's mostly a hodgepodge of meh. There are a few guys I'd really like as situational rushers that are a bit undersized (e.g. Okoronkwo, Amstrong, Hearns, etc), mostly in the same mold as Dee Ford. The rest are guys that didn't really produce in college like you'd expect that you're really either projecting or taking a huge chance on them being better pros (e.g. Hubbard, Frazier, Carter, etc). I don't see the need to necessarily "go early" at any of them. I think you're getting the same type of players in round 2 as you are in round 4 or 5, a bunch of projects. Sure, if there's a guy that has the athletic traits that blow you away and you want to try and get him, go for it.
I can really say the same for the FA class. Unless some guys hit the market that shouldn't, it's really shit too. I kind of like Attaochu. I kind of like Autry. I kind of like Alex Okafor. Other than that, the only other guy I kind of like is a RFA and that's Shaq Barrett. The two studs, Ansah and Lawrence, they aren't hitting the market.
I went for Attaochu in FA and Lewis in the draft at the position. I honestly don't think this is the year to pin your hopes to fully injecting the pass rush with someone great. If you can get a couple guys that can together give you 12 sacks, you've got something.
In a year the Chiefs need to retool on D, the draft is actually looking much stronger on offense. I do think there's some talent at DB and DT though. Wish the Chiefs could move up and take Vita Vea, I think he'd lock down that NT position and will be a force like Poe before his back issues.
