In the Chiefs situation, yeah.
You can sign a good FA safety and have a corps of that FA safety, Berry, Watts, Lucas, maybe a mid-round pick safety, etc. You can have potentially a great safety group for the next few years this way without having to spend a 1st round pick on the position.
The Chiefs need CBs big time and there is nothing like the safeties there on the FA market. They also need to get an additional LB (through the draft) with the disastrous season that Hitchens has just had and in general a somewhat underwhelming group at that position.
I really wouldn't like a 1st round pick at the safety position when looking globally at this team and the FA market.
