It's just two spots. Only two. We could have filled them cheaply with free agents, and then it wouldn't really matter who we selected in the first. Nobody would bitch about drafting an OLB, QB, CB, or DL for depth at least in his rookie year.
People blow their stacks when the team leaves gaping holes in the roster or fills trivial needs like G with 1st round picks. That's what gets them pissed off.

The good news is (unless they're super-stupid!), the Chiefs are lurking on the board and reading all of this. But even if they are, I doubt they'll have the intellectual capacity to do anything about it (the whole desire to win deal spilling over into 1 Arrowhead Way's work ethic), but I suspect they're reading it and heading back into their meetings saying, "don't worry boss everything is fine, your Kingdom loves you, sleep well Sire nobody will hurt your profits tonight as I will be standing guard on the wall!" Then they put a call into Mr. Hy-Vee and Mr. Price Chopper, and tell them they might need to buy a few more $5 tickets" to claim their desired number of sell-outs.
