not winning is one thing ... doing stupid shit like drafting Dante Hall and Benny Sapp in the 2nd round of this year's draft is another thing.

Again, Philadelphia was content with picking "Dante Hall" the pick after us. And they arguably need him less than we do. Stop treating that pick like it's a complete WTF pick. Lots of teams and experts seem to think he's enough of a weapon to justify the pick. Hell, he'll be asked to do a lot of the same things as Reggie Bush, but a full round lower.
I don't know how I feel about the Arenas pick. But if he's a solid nickel back, I don't see why that's labeled as a "gadget" player. You do realize that they play 50% or so of the snaps? And you do realize that we will never be able to beat a playoff team like Indy or NE or the Jets, etc... unless you have solid nickel/dime guys. It's not good enough to have a #1/#2 corner. You have to account for teams that have dangerous slot receivers. If he plays 50% or so of snaps in the nickel effectively and serves as a returner, then there is nothing wrong with the value of the pick.
As for people listed, look.... I thought Cam Thomas would have been a great pick for us in the third. He fell several rounds lower. If Baltimore doesn't pick Cody, who knows how low he falls. None of these NTs come off as anything close to a guarantee.
Did the Chiefs reach on any of their picks the past few days? It doesn't seem so. So what's the problem? Because we didn't rely on a need-based draft strategy? We're sort of flip-flopping here.
