You'd think our team was great.

I didn't say there were only 2 players the Chiefs can use.
But if you're going to use a first round pick, it needs to be someone who's going to add a lot of value to your team.
Michael Oher would add value to the Chiefs. But not much more so than Branden Albert does.
Maualuga and Laurinitis provide the Chiefs with long-term value, and a lot more so than Pat Thomas would.
I have never said that things won't change. If there's a really good player at DE, QB, DT, LB, or Safety... arguably at CB, that you think indisputably belongs in the top 3, then yes, you pull the trigger.
But settling for BPA because you're afraid to reach is just silly. The top 10 has talent no matter where you draft, and it can't be purely BPA. It has to be a blend of BPA and need. When you get past the first round, it's purely BPA.
