I think we were all a little surprised when Dee Ford became a Chief instead of some OL or WR... both of which are still needs a season later.

I thought so initially as well, but I think he's got the capability of playing LT at a high level in the NFL as well as any of the other OL positions. I'm not sure that Scherff has the athleticism to play LT at the next level (his game is very reminiscent of recent first rounder Bryan Bulaga). Peat would be the only other guy who could go in front of Collins.
I'd love to see Collins there at #18. I think his overall versatility would be a big boon to the Chiefs and do a lot to shore up the biggest position of need on the line whether it be LG, RT or whatever. I also think that he'd be the BPA at that point regardless of position. (I think you can actually do better at WR in either R2 or R3 than what could potentially be there at #18 with either Parker or White as I think that a guy like Vince Mayle is every bit the player that those two are (and he's much better off the line and on breaks anyway).)
I still think that Dorsey ****ed up with the Ford pick. Guy might end up being a talent, but when you are that close to having one or two wins put you into the playoff hunt and you know that an upgrade at either/both the OL and/or WR position(s) would most likely result in those one or two wins versus a guy who's main contributions were a handful of tackles on special teams...eh...
Sometimes BPA combine with need isn't a bad thing versus just BPA on your board.
