Nothing says the Chiefs would need to find a RT in the first round or even in the draft, period, had they not drafted Fisher.
Good OL can be found all over the place. Including the 3rd round and later.

So you want to give two seconds for the first franchise QB you've had in a about a decade and bank on finding that gem of a 3rd round OT? Most GMs just aren't going to go that route. That's a good way to get fired.
Also, if they thought Stephenson was starting LT material, they wouldn't have drafted Fisher imo. I'm sure he got a good look.
