I see it as similar to the idea of 'replacing' Kelce -- they just won't. They'll change the offense to work through its WRs instead of its TE.
I could very easily see the Chiefs, as Jones ages out, simply changing the nature of their pass rush.
But this draft could say a lot there. If they pass on a 1st/2nd day DT yet again, that tells me that their plan for life after Chris Jones is just not going to go through the interior pass rush.

Chiefs just got the DB they needed, so the real pressing needs are basically taken care of.
Aside from DL and RB, of course.
They have a great opportunity to load up the DL and add a dynamic back. They need to do it.
And none of that stops them from taking an OL prospect or pass catcher who falls to them as BPA.
