If you want to understand the proper context of this job market for Eric Bieniemy, it’s worth reflecting back several years to the last time the Kansas City Chiefs selected first overall in the NFL Draft.
The year was 2013 and the Chiefs, coming off of a 2-14 season, had “earned” the top pick overall. In any given year, the pick is a franchise quarterback or cornerstone defender. It’s Andrew Luck or Baker Mayfield. It’s Myles Garrett or Jadeveon Clowney. Yet for the Chiefs, they just happened to hit rock bottom in the one year where the draft pool was nearly dry.
