I'm sure Philly might have been targeting him with their second 2nd rounder. Like the NFL network said, a team like the Eagles has the option to take a luxury pick that early, when you only win 4 games, there is no point in making that pick.
This is just a sad draft if its the case of the Chiefs front office protecting themselves, instead of going for clear best player available to your needs.

They were also selling the idea that they were looking to trade up and Earl Thomas and Berry were their targets. They instead traded up, passed on Thomas at a great value, and drafted Graham. There are multiple sources that seem to be reporting that McCluster was Philly's pick and almost every draft guru is saying it was a great pick for the spot. I'm a lot more likely to believe the post-draft buzz than the pre-draft buzz that's filled with smokescreens.
