The only reason you're putting pressure on the chiefs to draft a safety is because you're convinced they have to win now.

The chiefs done need a pass rusher. They don't need a QB right away . but if these guys are the big, you take them. I would rather the chiefs draft without caring about who fills an immediate need.

That's why you spend a little bit of money to bring in a free safety like Ward or even Clemons. Or you re-sign Schwartz or bring in Dietrich-Smith. It's called hedging your bets.

It's just two spots. Only two. We could have filled them cheaply with free agents, and then it wouldn't really matter who we selected in the first. Nobody would bitch about drafting an OLB, QB, CB, or DL for depth at least in his rookie year.

People blow their stacks when the team leaves gaping holes in the roster or fills trivial needs like G with 1st round picks. That's what gets them pissed off.
