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.
the WR we draft is going to have #1 WR upside, a much more important investment than a guard...and again, WRs of that caliber are usually not sitting their at #23

we should be drafting QBs, WRs, and pass rushers in the first in no particular order...we should not be drafting guards, as a matter of principle

rebuilding this team with back-to-back first round OL picks when the only pass catcher of any talent on our team is an older vet (Bowe) is insane

we don't need the latest 'best guard ever' (said every ****ing year)...we need game breakers
