Ford + Gaines > Dennard + 3rd round OLB.

But KC wasn't forced to go OLB in round 3. They could have filled an immediate need at WR or OG.
Ford shows tons of promise as a pass rusher, but he was pretty much invisible in run defense and has had a lot of nagging injuries. You have to hope he can hold up against the increased speed and power of the NFL.
