If you get anything at all from a 4th round pick or later, including 4 seasons of decent STs contributions, that's a win. If a 3rd rounder is starting games and contributing at any point, that's a win. Shit, that's the case for a 2nd rounder.
Hardman was BETTER than your average 2nd rounder. Robinson was about what one should expect from a 4th rounder - if that. Conley was maybe a little disappointing because he had such an obvious path to relevance that never seized, but as a 3rd round pick he was still fine.
You just have to have reasonable expectations of the player.

It’s nuts.
People act like the Chiefs are the mid-aughts Detroit Lions, burning top 5 pick after top T 5 pick at WR.
A 2nd - who was a good player and contributed significantly to two SB runs. Not as good as a few guys drafted after him, but not a bust.
A 2nd one year into his career and behind 4 veterans in year 1.
And a 2nd who hasn’t taken a snap yet.
That’s super light investment (driven because they had elite weapons at TE and WR already).
