It means that opposing QBs were able to find an open receiver in 2.5 seconds.
2.5 seconds is very quick. This would indicate that KC had real problems covering. The eye test tells us that Sorensen was particularly awful, and that Niemann was really useless also. Both were directly targeted repeatedly.
Ward was decent, but has never played the ball particularly well. Mathieu was not his prior self either.....blah blah blah...blee blee bloh

I understand the thought process. But that's not what Veach was saying prior to the draft. He stated that he wanted to address the DL.
As far as the pressure rate stats....I feel like there has to be some sort of context to that. From the games that I watched mobile qbs were able to evade the pressure (The one game i can point to our pass rush actually being a factor is the Cowboys game)......a ton of rookie CBs won't fix that
