Apparently for the Chiefs, Pioli, Haley and Weis, it was.
Time will tell whether or not it pays off but I am not going to proclaim at this point in time that it was a "wasted pick".
Keep in mind, the Chiefs had four tight ends on their roster last year in Ryan, Pope, O'Connell and Cottam. Ryan is gone, Cottam ended the year on IR (again), Pope is nothing special and O'Connell has a long, long way to go before being a productive NFL player.
They needed to make a move of some sort and this was it. I'll wait a while to judge whether it was right or wrong.
