While I agree about that, I just don't think that there are those 2 or 3 outstanding talents near the top that teams are jockeying to get.
It seems like there are a bunch of solid players that most teams would be happy with, to the point that they may prefer player X over player Y, but not enough to trade what has traditionally been the going rate for movement in the early first round.
It isn't a contract cost of the first few slots, it is just that there aren't a whole lot of players that are that much superior to the rest that they would be worth moving up to get.
If the Chiefs wanted to give it away there would be takers, but I'm just not sure there is a lot of value to the pick.
