One position the Chiefs should look to upgrade is middle linebacker. Derrick Johnson has been a rock for the franchise for over a decade, but his time is most likely over. Even if he does manage to come back from a second torn Achilles in three years, the Chiefs need to plan his replacement now. Other linebackers on the team have proven to be ineffective or injury-prone and thus undependable. So while drafting a franchise quarterback should be goal number one for Kansas City, finding a new anchor for the defense is important.
Luckily for the Chiefs this is a deep middle linebacker draft.
