Sorry, bu that's just ****ing stupid.
We finally have an al world QB and all world RB and you want to go cheap on the oline?
I know there is this sense around this place that we can put anyone at center and do fine, but I don't think thats accurate. Get Mahomes a center he can play with for a while and if you are going to plug and play at an oline position do it at right guard, which we have been doing for years now.
I'm all about drafting defense, especially in the early rounds, but its stupid to not take some interior linemen starting in round 3 or 4.

You could argue we're cheap on the OL right now. Our big contracts are tied up at tackle, and the interior line are all bargain bin guys. Obviously we still have a season to finish, but right now, they're getting the job done. Andy Heck has loaded our talent cupboard because he's a phenomenal OL coach.
As a result, that frees up resources you can invest in Hill, Ford, and maybe throw a little cash to bring back Allen Bailey or bring in Earl Thomas.
