I've got nothing against Pollard personally, he just duplicates positions that we already have (SS) and doesn't fill our extreme need (CB)

I'm not sure CB is more of a need than a safety is. Even if KC were to draft Youboty, he would be lucky to play as a dime CB. I'm not sure he could beat out Walls, Battle, Sapp, Johnson, Hodge, etc. At least not immediately. Same goes for Pollard. Obviously there was a need for some CB depth, and a need for some safety depth. The KC war room must have felt that Pollard as the safety depth was better than Youboty being a Dime or Quarter CB.
You have to understand that Pollard is a phenom on special teams according to most. Maybe they felt Pollard brings more instant impact to the present?
