I personally think that the Chiefs are going to get stuck with a BPA Decision Lens grab that is regardless of position.

Fortunately, the Chiefs do have extras in the third and fifth (purportedly). I'd love to get another second and third in this draft though. I think that they can get some good talent in those rounds at positions that will help build this team in the short term for a solid playoff run in 2015.
Isn't this to some degree because of your affinity for the OL?

I agree that the OL talent in this draft is more wide than deep; lots of depth in the draft but not a lot of upside. It's difficult to project any of the OL as true LTs, or even plus pass-blockers at RT.

But man, when I look at the pass-rushers and WRs available, it's really as good a class as you'll find on those fronts. In case you missed the events of yesterday, pass rusher just may be a need for us afterall. I think the interior DL class could potentially be very good as well.

The DB and TE groups are as bad as I've seen in a long time, I'll give you that. That being said, I can't recall the last time I saw a strong DB group that actually played to that pedigree. I'm starting to think that defensive backs are harder to project than any position group on the board. At this point, I'd just get the best secondary coach I can hire and target measurables because I'm done trying to figure out what the hell to look for in a DB.

I don't necessarily disagree with you regarding a trade up, but only because I think you have will have talent on the board at 18 that would be gone in the top 10 picks in most drafts. I'm not sure that I'd trade up because I do think this draft goes about 20 deep with guys that I'd have no problem taking in the first round (and guys like Landon Collins that I think other teams are dumb enough to take ahead of us).
