I think you're on point here, but keep in mind that most players take 2-3 years to develop, most teams only pull 3 or 4 good rookies out of the draft/undrafted picks in a good year, and few teams rely on undrafted rookies and second day draft picks to the extent that we do.
Carl Peterson left this team so depleted that we forced rookies to contribute right away before they were ready, and we forced low-round, undrafted rookies to compete when they would be cut by most teams. I don't know that there has ever been a team in NFL history that has been asked to do so much with so little talent.

I think the purpose of "rebuilding" is defeated in Kansas City due to the fact that Herm and his coaching staff do not coach up their young players to the best of their ability. It really comes down to not only drafting well, but good player development.
How can you have good player development when your coaching sucks?
And if you have bad player development, how can you expect your drafts to go well?
Rebuilding is pointless if your coaching staff sucks.
If you really think about it, they all factor in together.
