This is a follow-up to the bit posted yesterday about the all-time greats on the offensive side of the ball. Again, this is from Pro Football Reference which has developed a formula intended to accurately identify which player was the best in the life of the organization at each particular position.
Now, for the defense:
| DT | Buck Buchanan | 101 |
| DT | Dan Saleauma | 57 |
| DE | Neil Smith | 80 |
| DE | Jerry Mays | 80 |
| ILB | Willie Lanier | 98 |
| ILB | Sherrill Headrick | 52 |
| OLB | Derrick Thomas | 105 |
| OLB | Bobby Bell | 105 |
| CB | Emmitt Thomas | 78 |
| CB | Albert Lewis | 69 |
| S | Johnny Robinson | 92 |
| S | Deron Cherry | 78 |
From our current squad I would like to obviously see Dorsey become the type of player to justify the #5 overall pick. What do you think? Is this a good foundation for the best Chiefs defense of all time?
