If the reason that we don't take Miliner is because we are picking #1 that's absurd. The reason positions like CB (or OG, C, & Safeties) haven't historically been drafted in the top 5 is $$$$$. When we picked Berry we had to immediately make him a top 5 paid Safety before he ever played a snap.
With the new CBA this has now changed. Lower rookie contracts open up teams to really take BPA regardless of position because you dont have to pay a rookie guard or CB top 5 money @ his position before he steps on the field.
If the KC scouts view Miliner as one of the top 5 players in this draft, we should SERIOUSLY consider him @ #1 simply due to the glaring hole we have at CB.
