And then their second pick was ALSO a defensive pick.
Again, I really don't think the Chiefs picked a WR in the 2nd because it would quiet the idiot impatient fans, but they probably did see it as a position that should at least be addressed prior to day 3.
Picking a WR in round 2 was a prudent move, but the player they picked ended up being full on bust. All of the qualities they thought he could translate to the pros (smarts, route running, short area quickness) he's actually really really bad at. Oh well.

IIRC they did a ton of pre draft work on Pickens. Apparently they didn't like what they found enough to trade out when he fell right into their laps. At that point just go elsewhere with the pick, even if the fans will be pissed.
