Mitchell played well last season. If he can build off of the last handful of games he stepped in and played well in and improve, then Chiefs will be fine at CB. Nelson plays well in the slot. Hopefully Gaines gets it this yr and stays healthy. Highly doubtful on either imo.
Only real concern I have about Chiefs D is the run defense, front 7 stopping the run etc.
Need to be able to stop teams running games on 1st down. Get teams into 2nd n long. How much is losing Poe going to hurt or will we see any drop off?
OLB/pass rush has a lot of what ifs. supposedly houston is gonna be 100%? we'll see. hopefully he's the houston of old, the Chiefs really need him to be. Because Hali is old and Dee Ford loves to disappear half of the time. Good coverage in secondary can only help so much. This defense needs to get to the QB...often.
