The Chiefs franchise has had terrible luck drafting in the second round for more than a decade. Sure, Brandon Flowers was a great pick but outside of that, the cupboard's fairly bare.
In the case of needing a starting QB with none available in free agency, either you reach for a player, hoping he works out yet knowing that it's unlikely, or you trade for a solid veteran QB that can win games and guide your team.
In this case, it was a no brainer.

Yes, but as you've said in previous threads, that can't be held against this regime.
I don't have a problem with what they gave up, if Smith comes in and does what they hope. But when you look what Dorsey has been involved in, in terms of who they've been able to take in the 2nd round, they aren't throw away picks anymore.
