guards aren't as important as WRs...is also why, and we 'appear' to be in the position of getting a WR that would be out of reach in any other draft

Is drafting the best guard in the draft at the #23 position stupid? Especially when it's a position of need?
And because of the incredible depth of the wide receiver position in this draft, the Chiefs could potentially get a borderline first round talent at the WR position with their third round pick. Guys like Devin Street, Mike Davis, Kevin Norwood, Robert Herron, Jared Abbrederis, Josh Huff, etc., are all very solid receiver prospects. (Devin Street, at least to me and from a measurables perspective, is as good as any of the guys who are being bandied about as potential first rounders.)
That #23 spot rookie receiver coming in is going to initially be a #3/#4/ST guy at best. That #23 spot rookie guard starts and is already better than anybody else on the roster.
I'm just being practical. Personally, my most superativest favorite player for our pick is Odell Beckham. However, being realistic and understanding the needs of the team, S'ua-Filo would be the better pick considering what potential receivers will still be on the board in the third round.
