First, more than one team did think it was serious. One team thought he would need micro fracture surgery, but nearly every team thought it was serious. Otherwise, he doesn't make it out of the first round. His maturity issues weren't enough to keep him from getting drafted no later than 25.
It will be interesting to see how his career goes, because I really liked him until I found out about the knee.
And, Moeaki isn't my favorite player. He has tremendous skills, but typically, oft injured players in college don't suddenly become durable in the NFL.
That said, he was one of the best all around talents. If not for his injury history, he goes in the top half of round two. (IMO). So, it is a risk. Taking a risk with a 4th and 5th round pick is different than doing it with a high second round pick.
We will see if he can stay healthy, because if so, the Chiefs drafted a stud. If not, they gambled with a 4th/5th instead of a high second.
