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?
