I think it's certainly possible that the Chiefs drafted Brown to be a guard all along. They just wanted to see if he could play RT. It's not like we don't need a RG too and it's not like we used a high pick on the guy.
Were there more athletic linemen available? Absolutely. But, athleticism for an offensive lineman isn't as important as size, strength, intelligence, and technique (no particular order).
Brown has the first 3 attributes and they can teach him the last one.
