Neither of these guys worked. So if you sit back and passively wait for the guy you want in 2025, maybe he falls, or maybe you're taking another swing on another guy with traits who maybe doesn't work out. And now you've burned two picks.
Unless the Chiefs really think Wanya is the guy, the most logical thing to do is to end the search once and for all. Go up and get the guy you truly believe is the solution, and end the mystery for the next few years. Wanya may be playing guard next year with either Thuney or Smith moving on, and you gotta hope Suamataia will progress enough to be a functional swing tackle.

You're not going to get anywhere NEAR a plug and play guy at LT. So you have to pay a guy in free agency, or you have to draft and develop them, which means you don't give up on them when they're not ready in year one or even year two.
Of course they aren't, if they were going to be, they wouldn't have been there at the end of round 2 and round 3.
