Approach 1) The LDT path - draft a guy late, watch him struggle for a year maybe even 2, see him develop and eventually get a nice player for your efforts. Approach 2) Use day 1 or 2 capital on a guy and STILL face about a 25% chance that he's just not very good. Y'know, the Cameron Erving dilemma. Approach 3 is just get blind ****ing lucky and stumble into Will Shields in the 3rd round. Don't bank on Approach 3. Shields was the 8th interior lineman taken in that class; it ain't often that the 8th most popular player at a position turns into a HoFer. So unless you're wiling to use your 1st rounder on Cody Ford (who would WRECK in this system), I just don't see a clean path to making this a lockdown OL. And I certainly don't think I see the value in it given Mahomes ability to make someone like Erving look serviceable and Wylie look downright good.
