Hill had known issues with anger. Serious violence. The Chiefs knew and did the rest of the NFL. Thats why he dropped to to us in the 5th. The Chiefs thought they could fix him. They were wrong,
Clark had issues with violence before the draft. The Chiefs trade for him. give him a ton of money. Will history repeat itself.

The first time I ever heard of the "known" anger issues with Hunt, it was after the February report where he got into that altercation in Ohio. And even then, I can't quite remember what these issues were, because they were pretty much, "Oh, he has a short fuse and gets angry." The dude didn't have a past of beating his girlfriends or anything (at least not reported).
The whole, "Kareem Hunt came back to bite them" thing is bullshit. In the case of Hunt, yes, the Chiefs knew what they were getting into and they ****ing did it anyway. Hunt was far more of a blindside to them (and probably whoever else in this league that would have ended up drafting him). He was graded in the 3rd round by a lot of teams. Things that dropped him were things like the lack of breakaway speed, the heavy workload in college, the highlights only against small conference schools and talent, etc. Sure, "He has anger issues" probably was known by teams when they evaluated his personality and fit in a locker room, but let's not claim that he dropped to the 3rd round because of that. That's just inaccurate.
