And like I said, change Clark from a miss to a hit and the analysis changes. I think ultimately this entire discussion comes in large part from the lingering after-effects of a MASSIVE swing and miss on Clark. The investment there was massive (one of the larger single investments made in a player in Chiefs history) and he's simply been a non-factor.
When you miss that big, the impact is long-lasting. And it will take some time to dig out of. They expected him to be an impact player - he hasn't been. Now they are going to address that misfire.
They're just being awfully deliberate about it...

I have a perspective on this that even though the Clark thing is a MASSIVE swing and a miss it was a major learning lesson for young GM wet behind the ears Blizzard of Vanity. He has made mistakes but each year his draft have improved and the last two back to back drafts is legendary now if he keeps it up he will be the GOAT. So I think that swing and a miss hurts it made him a better GM so he isn't going make massive swing and a miss mistakes like that again. Although in this business he is in giant mistakes are bound to happen it's how you make up for those mistakes that count.
