I'd say it looks like the Chiefs didn't want to get into a bidding war for Alex if he hit the open market, so we went ahead and grossly overpaid for him in terms of draft picks. Either way, they wanted him on the team and knew they were going to take it in the shorts to get him here, but went ahead and did it anyway.
Not that it matters anyway, and I'm certainly not someone "in the know" with the Chiefs and their dealiings, but rumor has it that this deal was done TWO WEEKS AGO. Makes sense when you factor in what Clark and Dorsey said when Dorsey was first introduced to the KC media. Add to that the rumors of Reid wanting to get Alex last year in Philly, and there you go.
