Yes I realize that. I understand it too. But, in the Chiefs case, it's about both, quantity and quality. One player imo isn't going to change everything. Will an elite talent make a difference? possibly. not ruling it out at all. Adding Berry could help. But if you don't have a passrush, can't stop the run or better yet don't have the players that can do those things, in all honesty how much of a difference is that one player really going to make?

Teams that trade down are generally the teams that have a lot of top end talent (Eagles, Patriots). The Chiefs can't afford not to get a serious playmaker out of THIS draft.

I've always believed this, it's just about drafting well overall. Elite talent exists anywhere. It doesn't necessarily have to come from the top 5. It can come from anywhere. I find it ridiculous sometimes when I see people complain that we need to have that top draft pick to recruit an elite talent. It's like some people's minds are fixated towards that philosophy and believe it wholeheartedly. If that's the case, then the Tom Brady's of the world shouldn't even exist.
Im more focused on having a good draft overall period. And that's what most should do. Why should we overreact to situations like this? If they trade out it could serve them? Besides, the draft is a crapshoot anyway. They pimp guys left, right and center every year but the reality is, nobody really knows how certain players are going to adjust/adapt to the pro level.
