I'd love a solid DE or OT but realistically our DL needs support all across it, I really wouldn't hate it we drafted a DT late in the first.
There's so many what ifs. What if we'd snagged Travis Jones this year, that one stung but he's getting no snaps on a loaded Ravens DL so who knows.

For what it's worth, DT has a relatively modest price tag unless you're paying a Chris Jones-type of talent. Unless KC plans to unload Jones for 2023, I think you're probably looking for a guy next to him on the cheap. I'd actually prefer KC extends Jones for 3 additional years since he only just turned 28 in July. I'm confident you can play a 3rd round-type again like they did with Nnadi out the gate. Pair that with a rotational vet (such as retaining Nnadi) and I think you're fine.
As for the rest, it's a juggling act dependent upon what the Chiefs decide to do with Brown at LT. He's clearly not my cup-o-tea out there but it's obvious Reid and Mahomes have, up until now, been okay with him else Veach wouldn't have offered the contract he did.
If they lock up Brown, I can't help but lean DE in 1 and WR in 2 again or even flip it while having eyes on value at RT. Alot of change happens if it's not OBJ.
