The Chiefs have multiple needs and whomever they draft in rounds 1-3 needs to be ready to play and start Week 1. Waiting around for guys to "develop" or play is a massive waste of very important and unreplaceable resources.
The Chiefs can't afford another Dee Ford repeat, where the guy can't even contribute until Year 3 or 4, at least if they want to extend their Championship Window.

Completely agree that its a dicey, touchy situation full of what ifs
Clearly there are no guarantees with any scenario, but it definitely wouldn't upset me to see us grab a young, blue chip bodyguard for #15... the only sure thing is its gonna be a super interesting draft, can't wait to see how Veach plays it
