Tyson Jackson is starting to hit his stride as a 3-4 DE and doing well - the pick of him as a player by itself isn't / wasn't an issue. What was an issue is where in the draft he was taken ( 3rd overall ?!?! ). Even moreso, its taken a 3-4 DE without spending complimentary picks or acquiring a free agent / trade for a really good NT or more LBs. KC is basically playing a 2-2, with a weak link at nose and two LBer positions. But probably the worse factor was that a 3-4 DE was not the biggest need for the team - and that's the most damning part of that pick. Even a really good 3-4 DE is not going to impact your team the way other positions could.
KC needs to clean house - new GM, new HC, and new QB. Just start over.
