You draft o-lineman high when you have a QB that either: A) isn't mobile; B) doesn't have a fast release, or C) you don't have the ability to be creative week-to-week with your gameplan and have a QB to execute it. I don't see Mahomes fitting any of these concerns.
Look at what Mahomes did with 2nd and 3rd string players at all positions, against starting, top-ranked defenders in freezing temperatures in his first NFL start.
Add to that the more glaring needs on the defensive side, and I just don't agree at this time.

Great post. I think Mahomes will make the O line better as well- but we still need some fresh talent infused into that group. My guess is we take a Center since there is no timetable for Morse to come back and Fulton is gone. And at LG since everyone there sucks. We got our shit pushed in at both of those positions last year.
