It's the interesting thing about picking high. You naturally get bracketed into an extremely small pool of players. Not that that's always a bad thing, or that it's a bad thing in 2010 for the Chiefs, but it seems like it happens, whereas in the #10 spot you have a wider array as the talent distribution starts spreading.

I'm absolutely not advocating trading down, though. If you can take an elite player, you take the elite player.
