Wrong.

5th and 6th rounders better make your squad or you've just ****ed yourself in the draft.

Why do you think the Chiefs haven't had any depth or good special teams in the last decade?

Poor drafts from top to bottom.

Good squads draft athletes and players that can contribute as backups and on special teams, immediately. They won't just "cut" a guy because he can't beat out an incumbent starter one week into training camp. Most young players need "seasoning". Hell, even Tim Grunhard sat on the bench his first season and he was a second rounder.

Furthermore, there's no freakin' reason to be spending high draft choices on right tackles and guards. There are starting guards all across the NFL that weren't even drafted (Brian Waters is a prime example).

So don't be so quick to dismiss a player because he was a late rounder.
