Pretty much this. It's part of the reason why CP latched on to almost any competent QB in the draft. Through the Peterson and Pioli years it did not seem like they would ever draft one. Eventually it got nuts with the Geno crowd (still glad we didn't get him). No one thought at that time from what I recall (and I refuse to navigate through 7 pages of posts) Kelce would not only be a first ballot HOFer, but become one of, if not the best TEs to ever play.

I have learned over the years to not get too emotional one way or another over any pick (minus Mahomes). You just never know how these players turn out.
