Well, I think it comes down to contract numbers, but you don't sign guys like Alex Smith, Sean Smith, Dunta Robinson, Anthony Fasano and Geoff Schwartz with a focus on immediately getting wins and then put in a rookie at the second/third most important position on the entire football team when you've got an offensive tackle in Albert who graded out as one of the most efficient OT's in the NFL last year who is also entering the prime of his career.
It's too big of a hole to leave on the roster and it's too much responsibility to leave with a rookie.
The Chiefs are drafting Geno and they are going to groom him much the same as the Packers did with Rogers. At this point, it's the one scenario that makes the most sense when you equate the free agent signings and philosophy that seems to be being applied to the team. They want to win now and instill a confidence in this team while grooming Geno under Reid for two years or so.
