Picks and numbered order is arbitrary...Fournette was the 4th overall pick. All it does is give you an OPPORTUNITY to cheaply get a player you hope is good in a few years. Chiefs just got a DE that they KNOW is good...and will produce from game one.
KC is in a legitimate SB window and has a new defensive scheme... after 50 years, i dont care how they get there.

No, absolutely not. I just used it to show that we've sacrificed a lot of picks the past two years. But for context... Trading up especially to get a qb is very common. Trading a first rounder straight up for a veteran is much more uncommon and the outcomes have been a little spotty.
