Player 2 = 2nd round talent at DE/OLB who is a big project and wouldn't get any significant playing time in his first season, but he's the best left at his position and the talent level drops significantly afterwards.
I would go with Player 1 100% of the time because I don't believe in reaching at another position just because the talent level drops off significantly after that player. That's how you build a great team/roster; you draft high where the talent is deepest in order to truly get the cream of the crop instead of opting to reach on another player because his position isn't very deep in the draft.

That's fair. I just go with the player that I think will help the Chiefs the most, not necessarily in his rookie year.
