The QB position is the #1 biggest weakness on the team. And the Chiefs depth chart is the #1 worst in the league at this position. It takes a lot of resources to right that ship. |

Agreed on all points but not if all your draft picks go to mediocre players and draft reaches. Someone equal to Nassib will be there in the 3rd. Hell, I'd take that Scott kid in the 3d and be happy with that. Someone will be there. There are also plenty of other positions that need to be addressed.

That does not change the fact that they are the second most important position in football. |

DT, imo, is the worst position to take early. Perhaps the fact that the Chiefs love drafting DTs early and the fact that the Chiefs are horrible are not unrelated. |

Why do you think DTs are so important?

If you can dominate the line of scrimmage, it's like your side of the ball is playing downhill against your opponent. It's a legit game-changer.
It's much, much tougher to do that on the defensive side of the ball, where you're starting out outnumbered, outsized and with more elaborate schemes being run at you every year. If you're a clogger, all you have to do is to be incredibly hard to move. That's very important but it doesn't require a tremendous amount of skill or technique. But if you're expected to play as a penetrating three-tech or as a five-tech in general, you're not only responsible for more space, you're going up against tackles more often and you're expected to do far more things, such as disrupting the pocket while still anchoring in the run game. It requires tremendous strength, athleticism, and technique. In short, it's a game-changer in your favor and it's very, very hard to do. |

Teams that spend high choices on DTs tend to do worse than teams that spend their high choices elsewhere. |
