Everyone knows it; every team, commentator, supporter or casual fan. The Chiefs got beat up bad on the biggest stage of them all at the Super Bowl. Their offensive line crumbled and Patrick Mahomes was seen hurrying and running for his life. This cannot be allowed go on and despite some efforts to improve the line via the Free Agency there remains a gaping hole at Left Tackle.
Only.... picking lowly #31 the GM had thought his options would be very limited and, therefore, his decision straightforward and easy. He is amazed that Samuel Cosmi is still on the board and he had convinced himself beforehand that Liam Eichenberg would be heading off to the Steelers. Not so, both are available. What to do, who to choose.....? And then a new name had been presented to him has a credible man. - What to do indeed? There was no 'consensus pick' and all are seeking direction from him. The GM had three possibilities.
Option A - Liam Eichenberg. Considered the most 'oven ready' and thus the obvious choice. But,.. Our GM has some doubts over him and particularly if Eichenberg will fit the Chief's. Certainly the 'higher floor, lower ceiling' type of guy. Option B - Samuel Cosmi. Longer term a great prospect player. He has all the tools and mobility. But,... he lacks skills and will need development to reach his potential. "Can we afford to wait?" thought hard the GM. Option C - Dillon Radunz - This guy came from no-where and he was not in the reckoning even two, three weeks back. His most trusted Head Scout likes Radunz and gave out his view and recommendation to seriously consider him. But,... he is a unknown quantity and from a smaller school. Risk is there.
Zoom, zoom, zoom... The names flew around the GM's head like circulating flies. The clock is ticking and who to chose?
Zoom, zoom, zoom the noise in his head becomes louder and the GM feels the heat. - People in the draft room are shouting and gesticulating. He hears the noise, but not what they say.
ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM,.. the GM's has sweat running down his forehead and the flies and biting. He feels the pain...
The GM knows if he picks the wrong man he is gone. Patrick Mahomes himself might even be hit and finished...
ZOOM, ZOOM ZOOM... In his mind the flies are in his ears his nose his mouth. The GM gasps for breath, what to do? What would YOU do, dear reader?
The ticket goes in and the GM sinks back into his chair. Relief, relief from the sounds and mental anguish.
The announcer reads out.... "Ladies and gentlemen, the Kansas City Chiefs have chosen Dillon Radunz".

At #31, the '1st Round-quality players" typicall are gone. KC has to settle for a good, not great, prospect. KC's Defense is an easy group to address. Some big fellas are available. Edge Oweh it is.
