Baldwin was a bust, so there's that but the Chiefs have a pretty good history, outside of the Pioli era, of getting good value and impact players in the first round.

Poe was considered a reach by many and a boom or bust player. NT's aren't "wow" players.
Berry was definitely that guy.
Dee Ford, Baldwin, and Hali were considered reaches by many. Baldwin by most.
The prospect that Berry was is in a whole different tier of player than any of the rest. Many thought Berry had HOF potential.
I think our 1st rounds the last 10 years or so have been a mixed bag but not horrible or worse that most. Definitely not as bad as our run of DL busts...
