Alaric Jackson was a UDFA. He is projected to get 15-20M per year. Chiefs have to go out and get him if that's the price...

I mean, you draft to backfill your roster, and yes, you take traits and try to develop. But you're talking about taking guys on Day 3 or late on Day 2, not using 1st round picks on them.
It's not impossible to find usable Gs that way. Pretty do-able.
The idea that you just keep drafting Ts and always have guys waiting in the wings ready to step in is one that seems simple on paper or to say... but there aren't THAT many good T to go around. There are not really teams that have a pair of kick-ass T ready to go, sitting in a "break in case of emergency" status...
