Yeah, I think I would.
Between Stephenson, Allen and Sherrod, there has to be a serviceable RT in there somewhere. All three were absolute studs in college and at least one has to be able to translate over.
As well, between Fulton and Fanaika, there has to be a serviceable guard. (And I'm hoping that they can pick up a guy like John Miller in the draft and that answers that question right then and there.)
Collins is the best plug and play offensive lineman in this draft and would be able to play four positions in this offense. However, Bud Dupree has physical gifts that are rarer than hens teeth, crocodile tears, whatever. He's a complete freak.
And it's not like he's a slack ass. The guy is a team captain, was an excellent student and supposedly was a great locker room guy. He's raw in terms of technique, but you simply cannot deny the physical gifts that he has. Like I said, there is only a handful of people on the planet who can do what he did at the Combine. A freaking 42" vertical at 269 lbs.? 4.59 laser timed 40? Jesus...
I think that with the amount of mid round picks that the Chiefs have in a pretty deep draft, I'd roll the dice on a specimen like Dupree and then get the best football players I could from there on out. Guys like McBride, Vigil, Miller, etc.
