We've been to 5 Super Bowls in 6 years, and there are still fans that think they know better than these guys. It's really kind of weird.

Don't get me wrong, I'll disagree at times, but I always end my post with "I am clueless and will trust them." These guys who just harp on every move they don't agree with, I just can't understand.

They get things wrong.

They get them wrong less often than most. And they get them wrong less often than guys on the internet.

But they absolutely have a number of miscalculations on their résumé.

Without a doubt, and I'm a big believer that Reid/Mahomes/Spags make up for a lot of those miscalculations on gameday, and they shouldn't have to keep doing so. The thing is, I really believe Reid and Mahomes have a lot more input than the average HC/QB, obviously. I think they have both been more than onboard for some of the flop picks like CEH and Skyy.

They will live and die by their process, and so far you can't possibly argue with the results. I mean, going into the season with Moore/Taylor as basically your only two tackles was asking for disaster again, and to have a top 10 talent slip to you at 32 is a risk I'm willing to take either way. This isn't like the CEH, FAU and Skyy picks where you were reaching. This is taking a homerun swing, and I'll never have a problem with that.

Sure.

But what if we have a runner on 2nd and 3rd in a 1 run ballgame?

Might that be the case when we have just signed Jaylon Moore and there is a lot of reason to believe that he can be a good solution to the LT issue?

Maybe a more accurate situation would be a runner on 1st and 3rd in that 1 run ballgame. And maybe we're not in the 9th -- we're in the 8th.

Now a single doesn't win it...but really, a homer doesn't either. But man, it would be really nice to have the lead, so you're not looking for a single, but you're looking for that double that drives in 2.

in either event, you really don't wanna strike out. So maybe the HR swing isn't strictly necessary because the HR isn't necessary OR dispositive in its own right.

I totally understand what you're saying, but I really have no problem with this team having three starting caliber tackles. Last year we barely had even one, and you saw the end result. I'm in agreement with you that I wouldn't have made the pick, but I do get what they were thinking. They simply can't let Mahomes get destroyed anymore. They have to go above and beyond to make sure it doesn't happen.

What happens with the next three picks will also go a long way in making this pick more palatable. If they land a RB, WR and DL who are day one contributors today (which is entirely possible) I'll be pretty happy with how everything turned out.

Only time will tell, all we can do is watch now.
