Alert us when the Chiefs will be ready to be a "win now" team.
And before you answer keep in mind the Chiefs just gave a $68 million contract extension to their 30 year old starting QB.

The Chiefs have 11 picks next year and an increasingly flexible payroll. I've already said that for the Chiefs to make a run, it starts next year. And that includes drafting a QB so Smith can easily hand the torch off to extend that window further.
For as much as we talk about this awesome 8-player nucleus of Pioli/Kuharich players we built around, so far in games where primarily Dorsey guys have played, we've played incredibly close games against San Diego, Indy (playoffs), and Denver (arguably best team in the AFC). If our draft picks improve this year, we draft smart next year, and we bring in some solid free agents, why couldn't we?
I've said before I'm nervous about Dorsey's talent evaluation. But next year sets up nicely to start attacking.
