Just because he is the top ranked prospect at his position doesn’t make him a first round talent. I think the Chiefs would be overlooking a lot of talent at other positions if they settle for Ruiz at #32. Also, the drop off from Ruiz to a couple other guys at Center isn’t so drastic that you could not find a solid contributor from rounds 2 to 4.
If you can pick up a franchise receiver, or running back or let alone a future Franchise tackle or Defensive End at the same spot, you go with that pick every time. You can fill needs through free agency and undrafted free agency let alone use some of your lower round picks. You don’t settle for need with your top pick.
