Think about it from a different angle....
Ward was a "good" corner....he just got $14 mill per. Veach mentioned talented guys with a profile like their first 2 picks likely pan out because of of their work ethic.
If they both turn out to be just good...they likely saved the Chiefs $30-$40 million a year for the next 5 seasons.. Just having someone to get Clark off the books is a nice move. Not being on the hook for $28-$30 mill for Hill...Chiefs are set to be players in FA again. If a WR isnt there at 50...it's not as dire as it once was. They can go BPA and continue to shave off salary to be used elsewhere...
They still have 3 picks in what BV referred to as the "sweet spot" in this draft.....they could double down on CB/DE or take a safety. I would take the more expensive positions if they have the players rated equal...
Chiefs just scored two important positions...and their OL is relatively cheap for 3 more years. This is the model for sustained success in the NFL..
