You have arguably the best LG and C in the game to help the rookie through his growing pains.

You've got it upside down or something, at least to the way I'm thinking.
It doesn't MATTER that we paid him that much, whether it's on the left or the right. It's that the financial details of the deal strongly suggest he's going to play LT. I think people are overestimating the Chiefs need for a LT because they view Taylor as a RT. I firmly believe the Chiefs don't think they have a need at LT anymore.
