The only saving grace to this is that the Chiefs are returning 20 of 22 starters and this is a luxury pick. BUt even a luxury pick is a waste of a pick.

I'd rather take a RB the Front Office sees as a stud for 5-6 years than reach on a OL or another position they don't feel as good about just to give that player a second contract.
Nothing says you have to give a player a second contract. Use the shit out of your RB, Tag, trade, use picks to do it again.
I'm normally with you on not taking a RB in the 1st, but I honestly think it's more never take one in the top 25 because there should always be better value. Ideally I would have liked to see them trade back a few picks and pick up some additional mid or late rounders, but it takes a team willing to trade up to do that.
