What I like about the first proposed line is the entire left side up until RT is one solid mass of skull-****ing rapery. That is one badass offensive line. Konz really is the crown jewel (along with Asamoah), but also putting Hudson at LG leaves us with upgrades at LG (Hudson over a free agent or Lilja), AND C (Konz over Hudson).
Drafting Reiff or Martin would be fantastic, sure, but my only issue with that is Konz is a kind of value that you won't find in a RT at the spot we're picking in. For instance, if Kalil, Martin AND Reiff are all gone by 11, then what? What if it's just Kalil and Martin (the most likely scenario). I think the Chiefs will be so ****ing stacked and set to go with the Hudson/Konz lineup, that it really won't matter what we have at RT. Hell, you saw how the protection on the right side improved when we put Orton in under center. Really, the only thing I'd be worried about is run-blocking to the right if we kept Hudson.
And that's where I think people are underselling Konz big time. A tackle like Reiff is pretty good for running the ball. A Center like Konz, however, is GOD MODE for running the ball, especially when you have the existing pieces already in place like the Chiefs do.
