That makes a lot of sense. I am curious what you would consider a core group. Would it be HC/QB? In a salary cap era it gets harder and harder to "keep the band together". I would say that when it comes to dynasties it would be something like:
60's: Packers
70's: Steelers
80's: Niners
90's: Cowboys
00's: Pats
10's: Pats
20's: Chiefs

To me the truest dynasty in any sport is a team that threpeats. Sure, 3 in 5 or 4 in 6 is great. But the Bulls of the 90s were a true sports dynasty in my eyes. Which goes to show that, again, in my view, the NFL has never really had a true dynasty. Chiefs would be the first if they managed to do the impossible and threepeat. I guess we have a soft dynasty now like other soft dynasties of the past. Threepeat and you become immortalized.

Matt Verderame on his pod this morning:
“It was the worst kept secret at the Sr Bowl that the Broncos wanted Nix. Everyone knew they loved him and wanted to pick him.”
Also said at the Sr Bowl that he asked everyone there and not a single scout or team source said they thought Nix was a first rd pick
