And agreed... most of the people the Chiefs "should have" taken are not playmakers. They're guys who have the potential to play their position well enough, and most of them carry additional baggage. There are those who complain that the Chiefs took a part-time player, and yet push for Cody and Tate. Then there are those who insisted the Chiefs take a playmaker like Berry over positions of higher positional value like Okung and McClain, then suggest that in the second round we pick up solid players over playmakers. And then there are those who complain about Moeaki being too injury prone, and then push for Sergio Kindle to be picked almost two rounds higher despite having potentially chronic leg problems. What's most interesting is the way some people make completely different arguments to suit the situation.

You get playmakers at the top of the draft.
You build the rest of the team after the first round.
If you can get a full time playmaker in the second, great, take him.
But don't eschew the core of the taem for a part time player.
