Not sure what would be wrong with that plan this year with such an awesome WR class that's deep in talent.

For me it goes back to the thought that generally there are often not tackles taken late in the 1st that are good fits at LT and any tackle taken there by KC is highly unlikely to be ready to step in from day 1, so unless it's just a can't miss prospect that is somehow available there I don't see it being a wise pick.
DL has been significantly invested in the past 2 years in the 1st round, specifically at DE. I'd be pissed if they took a DE rd 1 knowing that that player probably sits the bench for the whole year just like FAU did. I wouldn't necessarily hate DT as it's a huge need and needs an infusion of talent.
Not that what I think matters at all, but I personally still don't trust their evaluation of talent at WR. Yes this is a deep draft, but the longer and longer you wait the greater the variance in talent and potential for the player not working out. If they're taking a WR in the 2nd it should only be if they either traded down from their 1st rd pick (meaning the guys they wanted weren't available and they didn't trade up so they're trading down to gain more draft capital) or if they're trading up to the top of the 2nd from their original 2nd rd pick. This team simply can't afford to get the pick wrong at WR at this point.
All that being said, I see the only viable options in rd 1 being WR, DT, or OT. Yes BPA and all that, but KC should take this into their own hands and trade up/down as necessary to ensure they get the BPA pick at a position of need.
