You shouldn't get too worked up over a headline.

Either way, agree 100% on 2009 being horrendous personnel-wise. But I disagree that we didn't show major signs of improvement over 2009. And I think it's way too soon to make any kind of judgments on rookies. I think it's a pretty unfair standard to expect 2nd round picks to net over 700 yards in their rookie season or to already be ready to be a shutdown corner. You point out a few exceptions, but hey... just because Tom Brady became a great QB doesn't mean that all QBs in the 6th round should be expected to be great QBs. The truth is, around half of second round picks are going to fail, around 75% will not be solid starters, and around 85-90% will not be pro bowl type starters. Chiefs Planet has a weird way of overstating how much of a guarantee and how good second round picks are supposed to be.
