I give the Chiefs a pass here because 1 they had to change that defensive culture very badly and 2 they were a full on and still are a win now team. I get the value argument but it worked so there shouldn't be complaining.

But if you’re going to make the value argument, it isn’t fair to just say a “1st and a 2nd”. Not all draft picks are created equal.
We clearly had to give up a 2nd to seal the deal because our 1st was the 29th pick in a very weak draft.
Value wise it was a little more than an early 2nd and early 3rd.
It’s really that simple.
