Pure speculation.

Even the optimists think it's going to take 8 months AT LEAST to rehab. Which means he misses AT LEAST half the season.

And when you consider he's not going to get the full offseason program, he might not contribute at all in year 1.

Furthermore, NO draftee is "going to be a superstar" especially not a guy that was injured so recently. Yes, he has a good chance to be great but it's not guaranteed AT ALL.

Nothing in the draft is a guarantee. It’s all about risk reward. Jameson is a guy with legit superstar potential, though. That much is without question.

If KC moves up for him (which is possible) I’d hope it would be sending our first and next years third to move up…or this years first and second but getting a late third back.

It's not just about risk and reward, it's also about opportunity cost, which you covered.

There's 2 things that I'm not super excited about in this draft or any draft:

1. Trading up and giving away value to zero in on one player and
2. Picking up players with injuries that prevent them from contributing right away.

With Williams, you're getting both. I simply don't like it. If they do it, I would understand why but I don't like it.

The only injured player who I'd be okay with them taking a shot on would be David Ojabo. And that's at #30...with the caveat that they're taking another DE in the 2nd round.
