No team will be able to withstand major injuries. The Packers lost their LT late in the year too, and it clearly cost them.
There are ample reason why the Chiefs should be looking at Oline in this draft, and the Super Bowl is not the mail reason.
1. Its a deep draft for offensive linemen (Meaning we probably don't need to invest a 1st round pick.
2. After 2021, we only have Allegretti (G), Durant (T), and Niang (T) under contract. So we need offensive linemen.
3. We are playing our playmakers a lot of money, so other positions need to remain cheap, drafting olinemen allow us to make minimal cap investments on that position group. Look at the money we don't spend at the corner position. Chiefs need to be cheap with oline and RB.
By all means, take a playmaker with out first pick, but after that the Chiefs have to be in the hunt for offensive linemen. As we currently don't have a center, and really only one longterm tackle. I don't think hunting for oline starting in the 2nd round should be frowned upon.
