Best case scenario would to have traded back into the second with someone but as we all know, that's not always possible either. I think his only possible downside will be the injuries, if he is over that then it will probably be a good pick overall in hindsight

If the Chiefs had traded down to the second, Philly would have taken Ford instead of the inferior pass rusher that they took.

Yep Philly thought they had him at 26, and Atlanta tried to move back in to the 1st round to draft him but the trade compensation teams were asking for was too rich for their blood- rumored to be at least 2 2nd round picks.

Then it comes down to what KC really wanted out of the first round.

Odds are they don't find anyone to trade into the top 10 of the second round unless they take the shaft on value, which you would do if they were looking for a QB, WR or OG. And there probably wasn't anyway to justify taking a bottom 12-32 pick in the second either, which mean they would miss out on the rest of the WRs, the top three remaining TEs or the remaining defensive line prospects.

Dee Ford was the last man standing on their board... If JFF or Teddy would've been on the table they'd have moved on either one of them once they went past Dallas.
