The long-term value of the Leaf pick was a negative. He was a complete bust and he cost on the cap. Why is it so difficult for people on this forum to just admit obvious truths?

This is nothing but a red herring, as you must know.

For the Chiefs? Effectively, somewhere near zero. What does pissing away a #6 pick in 2002 have to do with people not wanting to piss away the #3 (those that think Sanchez/Stafford will be a bad choice) pick in 2009? Has anyone argued that there's a position with a 100% success rate?
