In hindsight, this shouldn't be surprising:
1) Haley expressed the need to become more explosive on offense and in the kick return game
2) They value guys who are versatile and can create matchup issues
3) Appears that they really wanted to get Sproles in the offseason before he got tagged, and they were rumored to be really interested in Cribbs.
This pick only ends up being justified if he can have the same game breaking ability on the field as Charles provides.
Also, this is a copycat league. I think the Chiefs looked at what Reggie Bush provided the Saints offense last year and probably see the same type of deal here in terms of how they want to use him offensively to create mistatches...
