**** that. The days of sacks coming from one dominant right defensive end are over. Getting to the quarterback is about having a diversified attack, where pressure is disguised and can come from anywhere. I think left tackles have seen their value go down, and right tackles have seen their value go up.
BTW, it's not like the Chiefs have never had a first round pick at right tackle. See Tait, John.
Oh and everyone's darling Ravens also drafted a right tackle in the first. No, it wasn't 1.1, but frankly most of the players in the top half of the draft this year would have been fringe first rounders in another draft class.
I'm just hoping the Chiefs only win about six games. First, it would prevent the Alex Smith trade escalator from kicking in, and second, we would be in good position to snag one of the QBs next year. It should be a really good class. Of course, anything can happen, but it seems to me the plan was always to defer on the QB position until next year.
