Steeler-proofing the Chiefs.
How do we improve this team in the 2018 offseason to finally get this team ready to beat Pittsburgh reliably?
Because Pitt isn't going to be where this problem ends. Jacksonville, the Rams, the Titans... any team with a halfway decent OL and a truck of a RB stable is going to plow us.
Does bringing Bennie Logan back really fix our issue?
I think the corrections have to be focused at the linebacker position.
Dee Ford has one year left on his deal. The Chiefs really need to make a priority of drafting a stud OLB this year.
If nothing else, maybe this necessitates the trading of Alex Smith. The dropoff from 2017 Smith to 2018 Mahomes can't be that huge, and if we get a 2nd or (god forbid) a 1st, we could package it with our other 2nd if need be to go get the elite passrusher this team needs.
If we can get a big bodied stud to pair with Houston long term, then Pitt can't just plow through Ford/Zombo willy nilly and maybe the Chiefs can more reliably get to the QB.
Thoughts?
