LBs need to be a certain weight. RBs need to run a certain 40 time. The list goes on and on.
That doesn't mean you draft a ****ing grandma in a wheelchair, but it also doesn't mean you dismiss a player as ****ing broken if they're not within the commonly accepted norm for body or type of athlete. You take those red flags and investigate them... find out why they were successful and whether those traits are things you can still work with.
The Chiefs didn't ignore the length of his arms. They have his measurements. People are acting like this shit is something they didn't know about.

I understand. But, he isn't a bendy type of rusher who is going to make moves to elude an NFL tackle.
He isn't an explosive athlete who is going to blow by an NFL tackle.
If he can't get his hands on the tackle in order to bull rush, how is he going to beat NFL tackles?
I sincerely hope that I am an idiot, and GK tears up the league, and proves to be the edge rusher we need.
Will he win sometimes? Yes. But, even with his PFF grade, or how other experts graded him, he was still there at 30 for a reason.
