Let's not overthink this, alright? The Chiefs cannot protect Mahomes blind side right now, which you have to if you want to win the Super Bowl, because JPP and Shaq Barrett are going to do it to Mahomes again if you don't.
The Chiefs are extremely lucky this year. A Pro Bowl caliber tackle is likely to fall to at least the mid 20s this year because there's a glut of freak athletes at the position and he's not very athletic, for all his talent.
Get the guy you need to win the Super Bowl.

They have plenty of options. They can win the Super Bowl without drafting a LT in the first round.
Teams that enter the draft with a must-have mindset never come out ahead. Ever.
The draft is always a balance of value and need. Always.
