Those are positions less valued by all NFL teams so they were still available in the second round.
It's different this year needing to fill truly premium slots like DE and WR, especially as we're a team that needs those picks to hit relatively soon to stay competitive.
Value and BPA are nice and all but this isn't that draft for the Chiefs with our higher picks. We need to fill these slots with players who can immediately contribute.

-George Pickens was once slated as the #1 WR in the country. Him getting hurt is the only reason we have a shot at him.
-Nik Bonnito is a top 5 pass rusher in this draft, the most productive over the last two years. He can also step in that third LB spot next to Bolton and Gay. He did it all at Oklahoma.
I promise you they'd both contribute day 1. You seem to forget how pathetic our edge rushers were for much of last season and how JAGgy our WR2 and WR3 were. We pretty much have those spots filled. Pickens has elite ability and all the makings of a legit #1, outside of some polishing on his routes. Beast on contested balls though.
