Gaines is certainly developing nicely (though he's only the second-best rookie CB named Gaines in the NFL). I wasn't specifically saying "They should have taken Moncrief instead of Gaines"... just that there was a significant drop-off in WR talent after Moncrief went off the board in round 3.
The Chiefs likely could have gotten Gaines in Round 4 (as he was rated a Round 5 guy by many) or traded up to get him if necessary... but the better move would have been drafting Kelvin Benjamin or Jordan Matthews instead of waste-of-sperm Dee Ford in round 1.
Bottom line... they had two picks with which they could have addressed the most glaring need on the team, but did not. That's a major failing.
