We're seeing NTs like Pickett, Aubrayo Franklin, and Kyle Williams play solid at the position out of obscurity.

Obscurity?
You're talking about a former first round draft as being "obscure"? And Franklin was a draft choice of the Ravens, who seem to know a thing or two about drafting and developing defensive players.
Furthermore, all of guys you've mentioned took years to get where they are today. It's highly unlikely that the Chiefs can pluck a 5th rounder out of the 2011 draft and see an immediate upgrade at the position.
It would be awesome, but unlikely.
