I don't really understand your position on DBs. My understanding was you've been happy with us devoting little resource to it, a position I've come round to.
What do we know about this team? The coaching unit can develop DBs (or at least CBs) to an extent that high draft picks, cap space and trades etc are less essential there. We have a young LB group that has shown a lot of potential and has improved and is currently cheap. We have QB that with elite receiving options is very hard to stay with. We have a DL that is absolutely pathetic.
The gamble you're taking is that Mahomes can continue to make average players great and a better DL gives him back the ball a lot more, my gamble is that continuing to patch up a DL and pair with an elite receiving core is preferable.

Because it's an easy analogue for comparison's sake. Like you, I'm far more concerned with the DL. But when I'm trying to make a demonstration, I'm going to try to compare apples/apples and when comparing Patricks impact on the offense w/ his relative inability in directly impact the defense, talking secondaries is the cleanest way to do it.
