Nah - too late and not as terrible as guys like Jenkins.
Jackson, Blackledge and Sims were worse because they were so high in the draft. The difference between Baldwin busting and Sims busting is essentially an extra first rounder going bust (as it would take about that to move from 26 to 7).
That's how hugely damaging those high first round busts are. That's why Jackson is such a disastrous pick.
Every year there are 2-3 teams that get nothing from a late first rounder. It's just the nature of the beast. Baldwin's a disappointment, but historically, we'll have little to no recollection of him at all.
Hell, Anthony Hancock was the 11th overall and did little more than Baldwin. Elmo Wright went 16 and is the same animal. Sid Smith is the only other time the Chiefs has selected 26 - who? Yeah, exactly. Dude was never a starter for the Chiefs and was cut in 3 years.
You drama queens are out of your minds. Baldwin's nowhere near the worst pick in franchise history.
