Sorenson is turrible.
Chiefs need a legit Mike. One that plays downhill, can flow to hit the gaps and sheds blockers.
The difference between a top LBr and meh is their read reaction time. We're talking about maybe a second difference, but that's the critical second that turns 3-5 yard runs into little or no gain, and 18+ yard runs into 15 or less.
Adding a D lineman will be marginal at best compared with getting a LB who has the lateral quickness to play sideline to sideline. There's a reason why LB is traditionally the position that racks up the most tackles, and I've always firmly believed that your line clogs and holds the point of engaging the blockers for the LBrs to flow to fill the gaps and attack at the point & make the stop. Almost 80% of long runs are when the oline can get a 2nd level block or the LBr gets washed out.
Guys like Seau, Brooks had ridiculously quick read & reaction time, and that meant they rarely got caught flat footed or gave ground biting on the fake.
I'd also like them to look at adding an OLB - namely one that can drop into coverage & cover RBs the outlets & underneath in zone or in man even if it requires a hybrid with help over the top.
