That's a hell of a way to get a better defense, draft a player you don't need on the wrong side of the ball.

If we don't 'need' a center, then we don't 'need' a CB, DL or LB either. Because Austin Reiter is not better than any of our starting CBs. He's not better than Lucas/Sorensen. He's not better than Speaks/Okafor. He's not even obviously better than Wilson/O'Daniel.
He's just a warm body that didn't trip over his own feet...often. But beyond the mere need to protect Mahomes is that Reid's offense needs centers that can move in space. Reiter is objectively shitty at that; he's not very athletic at all. It makes him a lousy run blocker and as more teams get an understanding of that it will make him more and more prone to stunts/twists on the interior.
Reiter is no sort of long-term position at C. Center is absolutely just as big a short and long-term need as CB, S and DL, moreover the positional depth at ALL of those positions is significantly better than it is at C.
The easiest way to ensure that the offense that looks so indestructible now doesn't remain that way is to neglect it. That's how our shithouse defense became a shithouse defense. Because 4 years ago we didn't 'need' defenders so we didn't bother spending any draft capital on them and now that side of the ball is struggling for talent.

Mahomes still went 36TDs 10INTs 3600yds when Morse was sidelined after JAX game. And just so we're clear, Aaron Donald destroyed everyone last season.
I dont mind the Chiefs drafting a C, just not in the first rd when the Chiefs are in dire need of a D rebuild, when the team is starving for help at every level.

Mahomes threw for 3,600 yards in 5 games, eh?
If you aren't even informed enough to know who was actually
playing, then you don't merit further discussion.
Besides, everyone knows that the greatest compliment anyone can receive on this board is your scorn. The next time you're right about something will be the first.
