If you look at a list of the Kansas City Chiefs transactions on paper all at once, it’s clear that general manager Brett Veach and the rest of his staff were concerned about a single area of the roster.
The Chiefs defense was a shell of its former self last season. After years of living among the NFL’s top defensive units in terms of total yards allowed, takeaways and other important categories, the defense fell apart. In fact, it was the team’s offense that ended up saving its season in 2017 and allowed them to claim consecutive division titles.
