While I can't say I'd have been unhappy if the Chiefs had gone purely defense with 2a and 2b (say, Washington & Lindval Joseph), it's way too early to begin predicting that McCluster and Arenas won't be very productive players for the Chiefs.
Very few rookie cornerbacks make an impact on defense and I expect that Arenas will be no exception. But his abilities in the return game should balance his learning curve as a cornerback. And don't forget, he has one of the best ever as a coach in Emmitt Thomas, so I fully expect him to make a huge defensive leap from year one to year two.
