Well, yes, Mingo did have a freak injury. They still don't know how he ended up with a bruised lung.

Even with all that, the left tackle position is still increasingly irrelevant by the year as teams continue to move their best pass rushers to the right side of the field and statistics show that quarterback performance doesn't significantly differ whether pressure is coming from the left or the right. The last five Super Bowl winners did it with mediocre left tackles and half-decent O-lines at best.
So really, there's no justifying the Fisher pick in the modern NFL, and it especially looks bad because he's so raw and playing horribly in both training camp and preseason.

He was the First overall pick in a top 10 draft that was littered with offensive linemen. As I have stated. 7 of the top 12 were offensive linemen with one receiver, 3 pass rushers, and a corner taken. They didn't see Milliner as a need because they already had Flowers, Sean Smith, and Dunta Robinson. They didn't need a pass rusher because they have both Hali, and Houston, and even on draft day there was speculation they were going to move Albert.
It was the absolute worst case scenario for the Chiefs. They were damned if they did, and damned if they didn't, and had they drafted Milliner, people would of crushed them for taking another corner after spending so much in free agency on the position. The only possible outcome that would of made people happy were to reach for a qb, or to take Austin.
It sucks.
