Nonsense.
Sproles was a 4th rounder. Breaston was a 5th rounder. Perrish Cox was a 5th rounder.
Need I go on?

No, I don't "got" to look at like that, at all. While the Chiefs were and are in dire need of playmakers, I don't think the team would be worse if they had taken Lindval Joseph and Daryl Washington instead of Arenas and McCluster.
When the Chiefs are routinely gashed for 200 yards on the ground in 2010 and they only win 5 games tops, maybe THEN you'll understand.

I think those picks come down to BPA and position of need. They capitalized there. Have to hand it to them.

Best Available is a matter of opinion and in my opinion, these guys were NOT the best available. The Chiefs have needs all over the roster and would have benefited more from guys that play every snap, not guys that are role players.
