We all know that Brown is NOT a "decent" pass-blocking LT. It also is not THAT HARD to go get a LT. Teams do it every single year. It is true that if you wait for it to come to you as late in the 1st as KC will pick, the likelihood of getting one is slim. That said, teams do get passable LTs between 10 and 20 all the time. That is a manageable trade zone.
Settling for OBj is the worst possible mistake. If the fear is that KC just might not get that LT in the draft this year, I'd easily watch KC trot out Geron Christian or Andre Dillard or George Fant at pennies on the dollar in lieu of OBj because at least I know that their level of play will be no more atrocious than OBj and it won't cost a market contract.

The problem is that this tackle class is so weak. Good luck getting one in the teens.
