The first round of the draft is your only opportunity to bring in impact players. Guards are NOT impact players. They are "nice to haves." At the end of the first round, most of your impact or raw impact players are gone. In the beginning of the first round, you don't let those opportunities slip.
A Guard is a ridiculous reach. 1) the best Guards always go at the bottom of the second; 2) very good Guards can be had in the 2nd and 3rd round. It's possible the Chiefs found a solid starter without having to burn a #11 pick; 3) Guards are the easiest position to find in free agency.
