At #3, there are only a few positions that are worth that pick:
QB, which we desperately need.
LT, which we don't need at all.
DE, which we desperately need, but non are worth a Top 10 pick, much less Top 3.
You don't take a guy your moving to RT that early. That wipes out 3 of the Top 10.
You don't take a LB that early unless he projects to be Singletary/Lewis in the middle, or Derrick Thomas/Lawrence Taylor rushing the passer.
As much as I like Maualuga, he's not that guy in the middle, and Curry is far from that kind of player on the outside.
That leaves Jenkins, Crabtree and the QB's.
You'd have to have rocks in your head the size of Gibraltar to pass on a potential franchise QB for another CB, or a WR that is so slow he's avoiding running at the combine.

You might as well copy this post, and put it aside. Paste when necessary.
This is a very nice explanation for the situation the Chiefs find themselves in.
Tack on a brief bit about how trading down isn't likely to happen, since you know that counter-argument is coming, and you'll save a tremendous amount of time from now until late April.
