It's the smart way to approach the draft but KC has quite a few holes on the defense to fix. I wouldn't put it past KC to take stabs at doing that as they go along but I can't imagine it'll be in the first round.
I'm high on Braxton Jones as a potential replacement to Orlando but he's going to take a year to develop his strength and technique. The Packers and Steelers have done this exact thing for years with a lot of success. If you can develop guys in that 3rd-5th range into starters then you're putting yourself ahead of the game.
I wouldn't mind seeing KC take a stab at Winfrey, Mathis, or Uwazurike in the right spots either because I see those guys as having the "potential" to replace Jones if they hit. I think Mathis and Uwazurike are "safer" stabs because I think they have the ability to play NT if they aren't the answer at 3T and they can probably get snaps at both right out the gate.
