What would be your perfect scenario to beef up the defense?
...let's just say they don't dump Cassel in the off season

Imagine if the Chiefs had drafted Orakpo over Jackson in 2009... blows, don't it?
Not saying Orakpo is the best, but definitely far better so far, and most likely forever.

Get a NT that can actually play the position and a OLB that rushes the passer?

Truth be told, the best way to help this defense is to add the necessary players on offense to be able to sustain drives. |

The offense definately does not compliment the defense. But not to say the defense has been stellar either they have thrown up some stinkers as you and the rest of us know. I say the culture on the defense needs a bit of a boost. The talent is somewhat there, but it's clear they lack leadership and the Chiefs are also missing players that lack killer instinct and competitve edge. To sum this up in one word, the Chiefs lack a "catalyst" on defense. They're missing that one guy that increase the tempo of play week to week and elevate the play of players around him. I think that's what seperates them from being an average defense to a good defense. |

Akeem Ayers from UCLA in the 1st and Jerrell Powe from Ole Miss in the 2nd.
OLB and NT. Ayers is a perfect fit at Vrabel's spot. Not the greatest pass rusher but he can do it well enough to give releif to Hali. He can also cover. Powe is a protypical NT for the 3-4. Him and Shaun Smith would be a solid rotation. |

Draft Von Miller, not as good all overall as Ayers,but better pash rusher, which is what we need. And sign a true NT, as draft Ponder in the second, or draft Powe in the second if we are stuck with casshole.

The problem with that is Ayers is the prototypical OLB these guys like where Miller isn't. Miller is a smallish 3-4 outside rusher where Ayers has the size these guys have always liked for their OLBs.

True but Ayers isn't a pass rushing OLB, which is why we wont draft him.
