Overrating draft picks is incredibly common. Like EVERYONE thinks that every first round pick is giving up on the next Randy Moss or JJ Watt...

A draft pick is something that gives you the POTENTIAL to get a good player. A good player is an ACTUAL good player. Sure, you need to adjust for the salary cap issue of a vet versus a pick, but you also need to understand that MANY draft picks, incluidng first round picks, are misses, or get decent-not-great players.

For a team like the Chiefs, with so many other good pieces in place but missing a seriously above-average QB, giving up two firsts for Wilson is pretty much a no-brainer. I wouldn't say that if it was Tom Brady, unless you guys think you're on the cusp NOW, given Brady's age, but Wilson is what? 25?
