Why try?
Because proven players often never play at the same level for their new teams.
Because this team isn't anywhere close to actual contender status.
Take a look at the teams that have won SBs in the past.
They are teams that built through the draft.
They stockpiled picks, and grew their own talent.
They didn't start targeting certain players and positions until they had a solid core group of players to work with and build around.
The Chiefs need to find away to acquire more picks, not throw picks away to target a position.
They just aren't good enough for that.
Targeting a specific player or position and giving up picks for that is a sure way to continued mediocrity and prettender status.
