Yes, but that's a short term view and approach. If Hubbard or an OLb of choice explodes and becomes an elite pass rusher, he allows you to let Ford walk and plug that in.

If you don't take him but choose to fill a need with a lesser prospect, it can get ugly.

Hard to play the "If" game though right? If Tanoh makes a huge leap forward you let Ford walk. I'm not against adding OLB depth, but with who's lin this draft class I would much rather take someone in the 4th who the Chiefs could hope "explodes" into elite status. Okoronkwo, Holland, Mata'afa, Fitts, Ejifor all going 4th round and later in this mock. The risk/reward ratio taking one of these guys in the 4th is much better than taking a slightly more polished guy in the 2nd I think.

Plus you've got the sad fact that even taking a guy in the second like Tanoh last year, he may be behind Zombo on the depth chart in his first season anyway...
