Maybe we are saying the same thing? I just think that a left tackle drops to the mid twenties that’s good value. I’m not sure that any of the prospects at 31 make an immediate contribution, except maybe safety, CB, WR or RB. And those aren’t positions of dire need that we can fill later in the draft The elite DTs are probably gone by 31. The chiefs have positioned themselves to take BPA. But I think that the bpa with a small trade up could be a LT. I don’t think that’s desperate at all. And all picks at our range are a chance. Remember Robert gallery? He ended being a pretty good guard. All these picks are a chance and a bulk of them never make it. Look at FAU. You have to take some chances to eventually get a long term left tackle when you are picking late every year. Do you want the chiefs to rely on free agency for premium positions forever? If not, you’re going to have to take some chances.

Do you know what the hit rate is for tackles taken between 18-28? Hardly any of them even end up playing LT. A lot of them move to guard. The bulk of the rest never amount to shit.
If you're not picking too 15, you're taking a CHANCE on a tackle. Nothing more. There are so many places on this team that need upgrades. There will be plenty of guys that can contribute right away if they don't get tunnel vision about LT.
