The Chiefs drafted him because Holmes was undecided whether he was going to play in 2003 or not due to injury.
its a crapshoot but you can increase your odds by having multiple picks in the higher rounds such as the 1,2 or even 3rd rounds.... IMO - you would rather have 2 firsts in the middle and lower part of the first round - the bonuses are less and the "drop off" in talent is minimal, usually.... conversely - the part of the 2nd round that has the juice is usually the top 10-12 slots. inevitably first round talent will slip and can get scooped up. jil
