Of course trading from maybe 32nd overall to the top 10 is a bigger hurdle than trading from #27 to #10 as they did for Mahomes, and trading up for a QB vs a Left Tackle can be questioned in terms of value as well.
But if the Chiefs view Will Campbell as an elite LT who can finally lockdown and secure Mahomes' blind side for the remainder of his career... seems like a trade up worth looking at.

hard to see that happening. They did it for Mahomes because they knew Mahomes was going to be the GOAT. Maybe if they thought there was a legit Willie Roaf but I doubt they would do that for anything but a QB. There are still decent/good LT's taken at the end of the 1st and 2nd round, Veach just needs to hit on one.
