Orgasmic explosion until they announce the trade.

While I've been saying that the Chiefs should spend a 3rd rounder on an ILB since last year, it's impossible to predict that the hole would actually be filled, especially if there's not a proven veteran behind him (and Brandon Siler doesn't count, IMO). Quote:
I hope he works out but I wouldn't bet on it, especially long term. Quote:

I really, really liked him coming out of college but he's just been average at best. Average is fine, if the rest of the line is average or above average, but he's definitely been hurt by center and right tackle play. He hasn't been a dominant player that I thought he would quickly become in the NFL. Quote:

Draft Geno and let his career take the Aaron Rodgers/Colin Kaepernick path. Seriously Dane, after that ha of free agents this team doesn't have enough holes that the draft can't fill em all...there are a lot of bargain basement free agents left that we could bring in for 1 year deals, too...if needed after the draft. They could draft Geno and sit him for 2 years and not lose a god damned thing over taking any other player in this draft at 1. If there would be a better usage of that pick, I'd like to know how. |

Why is drafting a RT at 1 so ghastly if he's an all pro type guy?

Or taking a pass rusher with huge upside?

Because it'd be like giving a 4 year $40 million contract to a middle reliever.

Because it's a position that offers very little impact towards wins and losses and a first overall pick needs to impact wins and losses.

This I don't really ahve a problem with.
This I do. You don't need All Pro tackles IMO. You need a top tier QB. Average to slightly above average QB play improves your OL (see Barry Richardson + Kyle Orton). Having an elite QB allows you to be productive even with horrific players at RT and LT (see the Bears, GB, NO). You need average, consistent OL play. While having an elite LT helps, it isn't a game changer. Nobody is confusing 2013 Bryant McKinnie with Joe Thomas. |

You know how important right tackles are?
Look at the free agents list...there are multiple guys out there right now that are quality right tackles that nobody wants to pay. Sebastian Vollmer just got a bag of chips and he is probably the best right tackle in the game...that's after being a free agent for a long time. |

Furthermore, their offensive line is clearly in flux, which isn't a good thing. I'm not stating that they can't fill these holes. But they're not filled yet. |

We can only hope that the Chiefs will trade back for additional picks. |

He got more than $8 million guaranteed this season, about $250k less than Jake Long. |
