People need to realize what this team is. They're a Superbowl contender now. Stop thinking like this is the same Chiefs we've been watching the last 20 years.
If this is 2009, then sure, you take a flyer on a rookie and buy a JAG veteran to fill a hole for a couple years. But that's not what the Chiefs are any more. Clark is 26 during the season. He's less than 3 years older than Sweat, there's no need to wait on him to develop and he's still ascending. That's exactly what this team needed at the point they are.
