Even an even bigger project like LDT was contributing some in his 2nd year. For sure, you want any 2nd round pick to be contributing in his second year at least.
In the case of Kpassagnon though, there were star players playing in front of him but mostly, it is possible he was outcast in the 3-4 scheme. We will have a better idea this year. It would be different if he had been playing in a 4-3 all along. Just like Veach might have miscalculated the fit of Hitchens in a 3-4, Dorsey might have miscalculated the fit of Kpassagnon in a 3-4.
All in all though, it has been years the Chiefs haven't had a bust with their early picks. They actually used to have tons of them. Sooner or later it will happen again unfortunately.
