I don't wanna hear any bitching when we draft fat boys early...

We have been anti-fatty for years, because we knew we needed to pull the trigger on a QB, not just draft the "safe guy."

Well, now we need to draft the safe guy. As in, the guy who will keep our franchise QB safe.

Would a single one of us be pissed if they had traded up to #6 overall and got Quentin Nelson? Draft a guard in the first. Draft a center in the first. I don't care.

Protect Mahomes at all costs.

We didn't have our own first that year right, so trading up for Nelson would have been literally insane... I get your point though.

It was always because 'Draft an OL' was kind of a way of making excuses for sub par QB play.

"It's not his fault, his protection is terrible." is a common excuse for bad or mediocre QB play.

It's pretty obvious when your QB is getting hit 125 times a game, and a lot more alarming when your QB is the best player on earth.
