I get the idea is to "protect" him. If you really wanted to protect Mahomes you would throw half as much and run a heavy run based system. Im certainly not advocating that but that is how you would do it.
Using the resources we are better off paying an Edge rusher or Chris Jones, then a WR#1 and then LT. You should be able to get a reasonable pass protecting first LT in first couple rounds that the rest of the league doesn't value as much as a passing team like the Chiefs.

Your take sucks. You don't risk injury to the only guy on your roster that you can't afford to lose to allocate resources elsewhere. What you do with those resources is irrelevant if 15 is not in the game.
