Drafting a C at 63 was bad.
They ignore the overall picture and results in favor of their “rules”.
It’s ****ing dumb.

I agree with the premise of not paying guards that much, but it still depends on context. A team like Jacksonville perhaps shouldn't give that contract to Joe Thuney. He's just not going to make a significant enough difference to matter. A team like them definitely IS better off using the draft and other forms of young player development to gradually improve it over multiple seasons, because it's going to take that long for them to start competing.
The Chiefs had the resources. They had the money. They needed the help. And the help is going to significantly make a difference.
So pay the ****ing money.
It's not hard.
