That's always been a lame argument. Missing on any high draft pick can set you back years, whether it's a QB or a DT. Chiefs fans should know that better than most, with the franchise's record at 1st and 2nd round picks from about '93 onward. Busts can kill you regardless, and (as we know...) multiple busts are almost impossible to recover from. These guys are supposed to be the stars you build around, regardless of where they play. The idea that there are "safe" picks is a mirage.
