If there is a stud reciever there, who is the better player between himself and the best defender available, then why not? This offense as it is will not be on top forever. And this defense is nowhere close to being a shutdown defense. So the Chiefs have to stay ahead of the curve offensively. And the hard facts are we need to find upgrades/young talents at wideout and at left tackle. Now if there is an outstanding defender there for us to take, I go D. But I do not advocate blindly choosing a defensive player just because we need defense if there is a reciever on the board who is head and shoulders a better football player and more of a "value" pick.
All that being said, I get the opposite feeling from Carl. He stated all offseason that his main mission was to improve the defense through FA and the draft and he's pretty much stuck to the plan. He's gotten the LB and safety, and would have gotten the CB already if the deal hadn't been botched. Despite whatever smokescreens they throw up there, I've got a pretty good feeling we'll be drafting D in round 1...
