I don't think we'd hear as much bitching about passing on DK if we did that.
There's one lens where it's similar.

Moore over Pickens was taking a scheme fit over the raw talent and I think Hardman over Metcalf was the same thing.

Now the perceived need for Hardman turned out to be incorrect as Hill was cleared. But it was fairly apparent that the Chiefs were looking for a Hill replacement and focused on his fit in a particular role over pure talent.

I think that's what happened here as well. I think they were looking to find someone to man the slot effectively and Pickens is more of a true boundary player.
