So we need to evaluate it well for what we're looking for and go that way.

That's kind of an odd way to put it. There's only going to be one or two elite tackle prospects per draft and you'll never draft high enough with a Mahomes team to have a chance. The odds of finding a difference making WR in other rounds are much higher than the odds of a top tier tackle. Both groups have pretty good depth but there's 2x as many receivers I'd be happy with than Tackles in this draft.

The bigger problem is that the 2nd tier of tackles might be picked through by the time KC drafts at the end of the 2nd. I consider the 2nd tier to be: Morgan (might be guard), Suamataia, Fisher, Paul and the kid from Yale who was injured most of the season and didn't face great competition.

Basically at 32 I think you start the tier two tackle run and the tier 3 receiver run.

This absolutely. It’s hard to find a great LT later and you see that all the time with WRs. If mims get to the lions pick, I hope we move to get Mims if he’s there and trade with the lions to select Mims. I don’t see Mims getting past the ravens.
