I thought the Chiefs would take a running back as early as #32 but with met with "**** that! The Chiefs need a guard or a center!".
If the Chiefs had taken a guard or center, there's not a chance in the world that they'd be 15-2 today.

As Reid has proven since his arrival in 2013, his offense isn't about offensive lineman but about the QB and skill position players.
People on CP used to complain that Brady was so good that the Patriots could just plug in anyone off the street and win Super Bowls but when the Chiefs are doing the same exact thing, people continue to bitch that the offensive line "isn't good enough".
The game has changed completely. You don't need 5 1st rounders to protect a QB for 2.2 seconds.
